RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHOTOPERIOD AND FLOWERING IN STRAWBERRIES (Fragaria)
Abstract :
Based on photoperiodic requirements for flower induction, strawberries are classified as short-day, long-day and day-neutral. Currently, most cultivated strawberries are short-day cultivars. In recent years, utilization of day-neutral cultivars increased in commercial strawberry growing because of their importance for extending production season length. Complex flowering habits of the cultivated strawberries delayed to obtain knowledge on their flowering physiology. Some aspects of flowering physiology of strawberries still remain unclear. Therefore, even today this subject is being emphasized. Comprehensive knowledge on flowering physiology of short-day, long-day and day-neutral strawberries and factors affecting flowering physiology will increase growing achievement of them and make important contribution to the development of strawberry production.
