The fruit of 'Yuval' is characterized by a unique, uniform color, as well as a very desirable taste, texture, shape and size.

Strawberry plant named 'Yuval'

The invention is drawn to a method of producing a male-sterile plant by using two different recombinases to generate different deletions in a transgenic construct in a plant, thereby resulting in a male-sterile plant with two different constructs in an allelic relationship to one another.

Method of producing a male sterile plant by exogenic allelism

The present invention relates to an infra short-day strawberry type and methods for selection as well as induction of flowering of the infra short-day type by subjecting the plant to a relatively long light regime under short-day conditions accompanied by night temperatures from about 10.degree. C. to about 26.degree. C.
