Effects of temperature and photoperiod on the development of inflorescences
were investigated with one-year-old everbearing strawberry (Fragaria x ana
nassa Duch.) 'Summerberry' plants. When plants were grown at 20/15 degrees
and 25/20 degrees C, more inflorescences developed under a 24-hr than under
an X-br photoperiod. At 30/25 degrees C, the development of inflorescences
ceased under an 8-hr photo-period but the development of axillary inflores
cences without a foliage leaf was promoted under a 24-hr photoperiod. The r
esults indicate that 'Summerberry' plants are quantitative long-day plants
at 20/15 and 25/20 degrees C and qualitative long-day plants at 30/25 degre
es C.
