found in this investigation (Table 3). However, putative VRN2 that is needed for
the repression of FLC by PRC2 was not found [19].

The list of genes belonging to the vernalization pathway.
In addition to the photoperiod and the vernalization pathways, we searched
candidate genes for the autonomous and GA pathways. Several sequences cor-
responding to Arabidopsis genes from both pathways were identified suggesting
the presence of these pathways also in Fragaria (Table 4). Among these genes
we found homologs for Arabidopsis FVE and SVP which have been shown to
control flowering in a specific thermosensory pathway [24,57]. Moreover, some
additional flowering time regulators that are not placed to any specific pathway
were identified (Table 4).
