An experiment was performed to identify the factors that caused variation in berry ripening of blueberry. Flowering date of floret, ripening date of berry and number of seeds per berry were investigated using 7 cultivars of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). The multiple regression analysis using seed number per berry and flowering date as independent variables, while days to ripening from flowering as dependent variable indicated that the standardized partial regression coefficient of seed number per berry was higher than that of flowering date. Therefore, seed number per berry was more important in determining berry ripening of blueberry than flowering date.
