Flowering time control is important for fruit production in Fragaria × ananassa. The flowering inhibition pathway has been extensively elucidated in the woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca, whereas the factors involved in its promotion remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the environmental responses of F. × ananassa FT and TFL1-like genes, which are considered key floral promoters and...

Light, temperature and rainfall affect the growth yield of strawberry plants (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.). The objective this review was to determine impact global warming on yields in a temperate (summer crop) subtropical environment (winter southern Queensland, Australia. Information collected changes over five decades two locations area. relationship between relative from published data used ...

Together with longer production periods, the commercial transition to day-neutral strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) varieties has favored the development of diseases such as powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis) that thrives in late summer-early fall. In an attempt to find alternative solutions to fungicides currently employed to curb the disease, we wanted to investigate the potential of silicon...

Soilless growing systems can improve water-use efficiency, especially in closed soilless systems. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects different transplanting conditions, and determine how supplying H2O2 as an oxygen source rhizosphere strawberry plants a system affects plant growth, fruit yield quality. Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. ‘Fortuna’ were cultivated ...

in vitro propagated and conventional runner propagated plantlets of strawberry (fragaria×ananassa duch) cv. ‘festival’ were transferred to the field and the size of crown for plants derived from both sources of planting material were compared. four sizes of the crown, i.e., < 0.5, 0.5-0.8, 0.8-1, and > 1 cm were taken from both sources of planting material. the results obtained flashed that veg...

The subgenomic compositions of the octoploid (2n = 8× = 56) strawberry (Fragaria) species, including the economically important cultivated species Fragaria x ananassa, have been a topic of long-standing interest. Phylogenomic approaches utilizing next-generation sequencing technologies offer a new window into species relationships and the subgenomic compositions of polyploids. We have conducted...

in order to determine the effects of zinc foliar application on the vegetative characteristics, yield and fruit quality in strawberry (fragaria × ananassa duch) cv kordestan under salinity stress conditions, an experiment was carried out hydroponically in glasshouse as a controlled environment during 2009 through 2010. three levels of nacl (0, 15, 30 mm) and three levels of zn (0, 1.5, 3 g/l) w...
