| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Current flowering research has focused on "How flower initiation takes place" but not "How perennial plants resume vegetative growth after flower formation", so genetic mechanisms to determine the flowering period is not clarified.
In this study, wild strawberry was used as a model of perennial plant and genetic locus and gene(s) were analysed.
As a result, we found that multiple genes were involved in the determination of flowering period and that a gene to repress the flower formation plays an important role to regulate the process.
