- Light is often the most important environmental factor for inducing a plant to flower, but it is not the intensity of light. What it the important aspect?arrow_forwardA long-day plant will flower if Select one: O the duration of continuous light is less than a critical length. O the duration of continuous light exceeds a critical length. O the duration of continuous darkness is less than a critical length O it is kept in continuous far-red light. O the duration of continuous darkness exceeds a critical length.arrow_forwardWe know that short-day plants do not really need short days, but actually long nights. Describe the type of treatment that proves this. Is some kind of light given during the night or some period of darkness given during the day?arrow_forward

In contrast, grain, which also has a high-carbohydrate content, does not elicit a sweet sensation when consumed. Suggest a reason for this disparity from the plant’s point of view.arrow_forward
