Secondary flowering is the phenomenon in which a tree blooms twice or more times a year. Along with the development of blueberry ( L.) fruits in spring, a large number of secondary flowers on the strong upright spring shoots were noticed in blueberries planted in the greenhouse.

- The expression of specific genes (VcAP1.4, VcAP1.6, VcAP3.1, VcAP3.2, VcAG3, VcFLC2, and VcSVP9) corresponds with the release of endo-dormancy in blueberry flower buds, influenced by gibberellin (GA4) treatment.
- A total of 109 MIKC-type MADS-box genes were identified in blueberries, classified into 13 subfamilies, indicating a significant role in flower development and possible gene expansion due to duplication events.
- Key genes like VcFLC2, VcAG3, VcSVP9, and others may regulate
The subcellular distribution and activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH, EC 1.1.1.

The spatial distribution patterns of endogenous IAA and ABP1 and their dynamic changes during floral induction were investigated.
