Comment:

Perpetual flowering in cultivars that originated from this “California” source, an F. virginiana subsp. glauca strawberry from the Wasatch mountains of Utah, through cultivars such as ‘Capitola’, ‘Tribute’ and ‘Seascape’ is largely controlled by the FaPFRU locus. Located close the FPFRU locus, the A129 allele is highly associated with perpetual flowering. The alleles A143 and A160 confer June bearing habit.
