Flowering time: Soybean adapts to the tropics
Current Biology, 2022Soybean plants - the source of tofu, as well as soybean milk and oil - flower quickly under short-day photoperiods typical of low latitudes. A new study characterises how natural variation in soybean SOC1 floral-promoting genes confers adaptation to different photoperiods.

Tropical Flower Scent Study by SPME
2023Determining the chemical composition of floral fragrances is of fundamental importance to understanding plant–plant and plant–insect interactions and to study the physiological and ecological aspects of plant adaptation. The diverse chemical features of floral fragrances are described in this chapter, together with several examples of the application ...

Phylogenetic Patterns among Tropical Flowering Phenologies
The Journal of Ecology, 19951 The ability of phylogenetic, water stress and 'shared-pollinator' hypotheses to explain flowering times was tested for the flora of Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Both quantitative (217 species) and qualitative (1173 species) flowering data were used.

IoT-based Detection for Tropical Flower
2016 International Conference on Information System and Artificial Intelligence (ISAI), 2016Growth environment and physiological indices of tropical flower is an important parameter to measure crop growth, while the conventional method has its own limitations. The design combines machine vision and Wifi / 3G technology to achieve a physiological detection system based on Internet of Things through a wireless sensor network environment ...

Extending the Arabidopsis flowering paradigm to a mass flowering phenomenon in the tropics
Molecular Ecology, 2013Flowering time is a critical life history trait, one that is shaped by evolution to maximize fecundity, reproductive success and fitness (Amasino ). This is especially true of annual plants where the cycle of floral initiation, pollination and seed production occur at regular intervals to ensure the survival of the species.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET TRENDS - TROPICAL FLOWERS
Acta Horticulturae, 2005Tropical flowers” is a general term used to designate a group of species native to tropical and subtropical areas of the world and which are different from traditional floral products such as roses, chrysanthemums and carnations. Basically, this category of ornamentals includes birds-of-paradise (Strelitzia sp), gingers (Alpinia sp), heliconias ...

The ecological role of orientation in tropical convolvulaceous flowers
Oecologia, 2002Flowers of Ipomoea pes-caprae and Merremia borneensis show a preferred orientation, pointing in the general direction of the sun but not exactly tracking the sun. They demonstrated no diurnal heliotropism but strong seasonal heliotropism. The possible effects of this non-random orientation on the heat balance of the flower and the possible consequences

Environmental control of flowering in tropical ‐ subtropical grasses
Proceedings of the Annual Congresses of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1969Tropical-subtropical grasses have shown a wide range of response to photoperiod. Some of the response patterns which they exhibit are extremely complex and often seem unrelated to the conditions to which the plants are adapted. However, there is an increasing realisation of the possible role of factors of the environment other than photoperiod in ...

Biology of mulberry flower under sub-tropical climate
Indian Journal of Forestry, 2002Sexual behaviour including flowering process, anthesis, sorosis and seed formation was observed in six promising mulberry varieties namely Chinese White, Chak Majra, S146, Kanva-2 (Morus alba), Sujanpur and Mandalay (M. indica) under sub-tropical conditions. The time taken for complete opening of first buds ranged from one to five days.
