The photoperiodic pathway of floral induction

2007
AbstractLong day plants and short day plants experience photoperiodic induction of flowering, and so flower in certain daylengths. This chapter considers the photoperiodic regulation of flowering in Arabidopsis, which is a facultative long day plant (that is, one whose flowering is brought forward by long days, rather than one with an absolute ...

Floral phenology and floral induction in Leptospermum scoparium

New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2018
ABSTRACT Leptospermum scoparium is a species found throughout New Zealand and southeastern Australia. It typically flowers in the spring and early summer, although occasional flowers can often be seen on plants throughout the year.

Pathways for inflorescence and floral induction in Antirrhinum

Development, 1996
ABSTRACT The presentation of flowers on a modified stem, the inflorescence, requires the integration of several aspects of meristem behaviour. In Antirrhinum, the inflorescence can be distinguished by its flowers, hairy stem, modified leaves, short internodes and spiral phyllotaxy.

Floral Induction of Bromeliads by Ethylene

1989
It is common knowledge that ethylene can be used as forcing agent of the flowering process in bromeliads such as pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr.).

The autonomous pathways for floral inhibition and induction

2007
AbstractThe autonomous pathways for floral inhibition and induction are central to the entire process of floral transition in Arabidopsis. The floral inhibition pathway acts throughout the plant's life to ensure flowering does not occur until the appropriate environmental, developmental, and physiological cues have been received. The inhibition pathway

Floral induction in woody angiosperms

New Forests, 1997
The long juvenile period of trees is a severe impediment to study of reproductive biology and genetic inheritance, and is a serious constraint for traditional breeding programs. Very little effort has been directed toward the development of practical methods for inducing early flowering in most woody angiosperms, particularly members of the genus ...

Floral induction in conifers: a review of available techniques

Forest Ecology and Management, 1987
During the last 10 years the use of gibberellins, mainly GA47, has greatly improved our ability to induce precocious and more regular flowering of conifers. This paper reviews the current techniques used for floral induction as well as adjunct treatments used to enhance the gibberellin-induced flowering.

Possible Role of Polysaccharides in Floral Induction

Nature, 1963
COMPONENT V, which has been previously reported1 to be associated with the vernalization phenomena in rye seedlings, has been further studied. As the electrophoretic mobility of some polysaccharides2 was close to that of component V, polysaccharide content (hexose combined in soluble macromolecular components)3 of extracts of rye seedlings was examined

Floral induction in Brachypodium distachyon [PDF]

, 2012
Brachypodium distachyon (L.) P. Beauv. is a recently fully-sequenced monocot plant, very closely related to wheat and barley, and an attractive model system to study the biology of temperate cereals. The present work investigates the “mechanisms” of flowering time in Brachypodium (community standard line Bd21) by analyzing a group of core genes, mostly

Extra-DNA During Floral Induction?

1979
Scanning cytophotometric DNA measurements on Feulgenstained nuclei from vegetative and reproductive buds of various age were made in three plants, Sambucus racemosa, Scilladecidua,and Rhoeo discolor. In all three species, a certain portion of the nuclei in reproductive buds exhibited higher 2 C values than the nuclei of vegetative buds.
