Abstract Strawberry plants grown in vitro are typically stored and maintained on agar containing Murashige Skoog (MS) media sucrose as a carbohydrate source. This method of storing strawberry is expensive time consuming, requiring sub-culturing onto fresh every 2 to 3 mo. study aimed establish the viability using substrate alternative an economical replacement for MS media, both long-term stora...

Objective: A vertical hydroponic greenhouse system (VHGS) was designed and built to evaluat two strawberry varieties (Festival San Andreas), in planting densities per pot (40 54 plants/m 2 ) three elevation levels (high, medium, low). Design/Methodology/Approach: At 126 days after transplanting (dat), the Festival variety showed significant differences number of leaves crown diameter. Results: ...

Thermotolerance of photosynthesis and productivity in Chandler and Sweet Charlie strawberry plants (Fragaria ·ananassa Duch.) exposed to three temperature regimes was studied. Net CO2 assimilation rate (A), variable chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv), efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm), relative chlorophyll content, plant growth, and fruit yield and quality weremeasured. High temperature (40 C day...
