Development of a woodland strawberry inflorescence. A) Snapshots of inflorescence growth in a WT (GER12 × FIN2) woodland strawberry. Photographs were taken with the inflorescence supported in a vertical position to expose the branching pattern. Flowering was induced by growing plants at 11 °C under a 12 h/12 h (day/night) photoperiod for 6 wk, then moved to 17 °C and a 18 h/6 h photoperiod during inflorescence growth. Numbers indicate days of observation. B) Simulated development calibrated to sequence A.
