Changes of calcium and calmodulin in leaves and buds before and after flower differentiation were determined. It showed that there was an accumulation peak of calcium content at the primary flower differentiation, and then declined, but approached to another peak in inflorescence differentiation; In any case, the contents of soluble sugar, reducing sugar and starch were maintained at high level before the flower differentiation. They were consumed when the differentiation of apical buds began, and increased before flower differentiation, which was followed by reduction when flower differentiation occurred. Nevertheless, the plant had high level on protein when the flower primary differentiation, then reduced. Besides, changes of calcium and calmodulin before and after flower differentiation in strawberry were discussed herein.
