Abstract: Strawberry (Fragaria spp.)belongs to the genus Fragaria and Rosaceae family (Staudt, 1989) is native to Europe, Asia, and some others to North and South America, and has 20 recognized species. The cultivated strawberry is a hybridbetween two species, Fragaria chilonensis and Fragaria virginiana. The botanical name of the commonly cultivated strawberry is Fragaria × ananassa. The strawberry is an attractive, luscious, tasty, aggregate, nutritious fruit. Strawberry is commercially grown in temperate regions, but there are varieties, that can be cultivated in subtropical climate. Plant growth regulators or phytohormones are organic substances produced naturally in higher plants, controlling growth or other physiological functions at a site remote from its place of production and active in minute amounts. Control of gene expression has been demonstrated for the phytohormones at both transcriptional and translational levels. The paper reviews the influence of various phytohormones on strawberry growth, developmentand fruit yield. Plant growth regulators were found to be very effective in increasing the vegetative growth, flowering and yield of berry fruits in temperate, tropical as well as subtropical regions. In most of the studies, a high concentration of gibberellic acid increased vegetative growth and runner production in strawberries whereas Cycocel, a growth retardant was very effective in improving fruit quality. Naphthalene acetic acid is an auxin, which is very effective in controlling and directing a number of plant metabolic processes.Effects of ethylene and 1-MCP treatments on strawberry fruit quality have been analysed at the commercial ripening stage.
