Size and color are important visual quantity attributes of the fruit of strawberry (Fmgaria x ananassa Duch.). Strawberry cultivars produce fruit of a characteristic size and color, the later being the result of accumulation of particular anthocyanins. This research sought to determine the basis for genotypic differences in fruit size...
Two experiments were conducted from 1987 to 1990 to study the effect of date of renovation on strawberry yield and yield components. In the first experiment, 'Benton' plants were renovated from July 6, 1988 (1 week after harvest - WAH) to August 24, 1988 (8 WAH). In the second experiment...
Field survivals of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) runner plants
dug from December to April in both 1979 and 1980 were above 9C% when
planted about May 1. When plants from the same digging dates were
planted in early June, survival of March-dug 'Olympus' declined to
88% and survival of late-April-dug...
Mechanisms by which plant organs accumulate
photoassimilate are important in determining final sink size
and may involve invertase activity. Because strawberry
fruit are strong sinks for sugars, changes in invertase
levels during development and mechanisms of sugar uptake
within the fruit were examined.
Fruit from greenhouse-grown, day-neutral strawberries,

Two studies were initiated in June of 1981 in order to gain greater understanding of the growth and fruiting habits of field grown strawberries in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
Yield component analysis of 'Benton', Oregon's leading cultivar and an advanced breeding selection, 'OR-US 4356' was conducted during the first (1981) and...
Recent research shows that flower parts of strawberry (Fragaria X ananassa Duch.) differ in their capacity to support the growth of Botrytis cinerea, the fungus which causes gray mold on fruit. Growth in styles is slow and hyphae rarely enter the carpel (achene), suggesting that this pathway is not the...
