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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Visitor assemblages at flowers in a tropical rainforest canopy
Austral Ecology, 2007Abstract Canopy crane‐based studies have been carried out to quantify the sets of arthropods that visit the flowers of a suite of common species of trees, palms and vines within the Cape Tribulation study area. Those Orders that increase significantly in abundance between the budding and flowering stages of inflorescences are identified, and ...

Phenology and Control of Flowering in Tropical Trees
Biotropica, 1983Descriptions of structure and flowering phenology of the tropical tree species Cedrela mexicana, Cordia glabra, Erythrina poeppigiana. Tabebuia rosea, and Tabebuia ochrea ssp. neochrysantha are used to analyze and illustrate the complex relations between structure, vegetative development, and flowering in tropical trees.
