Notes • Flowering at same time for cross pollination. • Long day plants (flower when night is short) • Short day plants (flower when might is long) • Day Neutral plants have no light trigger.
If they reduced the timing by 1 hour they got flowering. • Can you tell from this if it’s the light or dark controlling the flowering? • No, not really
Notes • The flowering in plants is dependant on the length of the dark exposure. • The timing mechanism is phytochrome pigment – 2 types. Pfr (far red) Pr (red)
Notes • Sunlight = more red light. • = more Pfr produced. • Darkness = Pfr slowly changes to Pr • = Some Pr remains.
