They noted that this experiment falled to provide evidence to support the length of daylight as the critical perlod responsible for the plant knowing when to flower. What If it was length of night, or the absence of light, that was critical for the flowering of the plant? With this information, she revised her experiment by exposing the plants to a flash of light during the periods of darkness, and a flash of darkness during periods of light. 4.
