Both a short day plant and a long day plant can produce flower simultaneously in a given place. Explain.
The flowering response in short-day plants and long-day plants is dependent on the durations for which these plants are exposed to light. The short-day plant and long-day plant can flower at the same place, provided they have been given an adequate photoperiod.
Four potted plants (I, II, Ill, and IV) of a short day plant, which has the critical period of 14 hours; are taken and exposed to light for different time periods. The light periods given are listed in the table. Potted plant Photoperiod I 10 hrs II 15 hrs III 16 hrs IV 20 hrs Which potted plant will show flowering after exposure to light?
Classify the following plants into Long-Day Plants (LDP), Short Day Plants (SDP) and Day Neutral Plants (DNP): Xanthium, Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger), Spinach, Rice, Strawberry, Bryophyllum, Sunflower, Tomato, Maize.
One set of a plant was grown at 12 hours a day and 12 hours a night period cycles and it flowered. While in the other set, night phase was interrupted by flash of light and it did not flower. Under which one of the following categories will you place this plant?
