The treatment of low temperature and short sunshine before strawberry transplanting can promote the early flowering of strawberry and prolong the fruit cycle. At present,the main techniques of promoting flower and fruit production in advance in strawberry production are cold storage low temperature seedling raising and plateau seedling raising. However,there is a unified standard for low-temperature and short-day treatment of strawberries,which leads to inconsistent flowering periods of strawberries and frequent occurrence of fruit stubble. In this paper,the factors affecting the flower bud differentiation of strawberry,such as seedling,temperature,light and hormone,were reviewed. The relationship between low temperature and flower bud differentiation of strawberry was emphatically expounded,such as the advantages and disadvantages of different low temperature treatment methods,the effect of low temperature on the flowering period of strawberry,the effect of low temperature on the endogenous hormones of strawberry,and the physiological mechanism of low temperature promoting flower of strawberry,which provided some theoretical help for the early flower promotion technology of strawberry.
