Due to the economic importance of strawberry, many countries have established national breeding programs aimed at improving the flowering time and fruiting season to achieve year-round fruit availability. The ability of crops to produce fruits throughout the year with "flowering on command" is still a challenge in strawberry production systems. Although growth promotion by dark septate endophytic (DSE) fungi has been reported, the symbiotic association that alters flowering behaviors in photoperiodic fruit crops has not been studied. Here we established an experimental scheme for inducing the short-day (SD) strawberry cultivar Fragaria vesca to initiate flowering under a long-day (LD) photoperiod in symbiotic association with DSE fungus. We evaluated the relationship between growth-promoting and flower-inducing activities using Pearson's correlation analysis. Symbiotic association with C. chaetospira SK51 markedly stimulated SD strawberry cultivar to initiate early flowering, with the greatest flower induction (94.8%) and highest number of fruits (10.6 fruits/plant) during cultivation under a 16-h LD photoperiod at 23 degrees C, defined as non-flower-inductive conditions, considered as a new finding. We found that the interactions between C. chaetospira SK51 and strawberry plants markedly contributed to accelerating the earliness of the flowering time, as flower buds were initiated 90 days earlier than in the untreated control. Interestingly, we show that plant response in flowering by co-cultivation of C. chaetospira SK51 is constantly induce under various soil types and pHs. Based on Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis, we suggest that flowering behavior has a weakly non-significant relationship with growthpromoting activities, indicating that the control of flowering has a different or indirect pathway. Strawberry plants in symbiosis with C. chaetospira SK51 might be well-adapted to all regions and help preserve crops resilience against adverse climate conditions. These findings provide an essential resource and new insight for photoperiodic flowering research and innovation that can be adopted to deliver sustainable solutions that eventually will lead to extending and increasing crop production.
