Abstract
The assays in order to: - Affect the life cycle of Strawberry pear plant - Create water stress -Spray ethephon, KNO3 or KNO3 mixed with BA are not successful to create flowering. - The mixture of isatin with BA or tryptophan with BA can stimulate the formation of the vegetative buds on stem nodes. - Making night - break by using electric 100W bulbs, set at 0,5 - 0,7m from the branches during at least 4 hours within 15 days. That can induce flowering in Strawberry pear plant out of season. This result shows the possible role of phytochrome in inducing flowering.
