Flowering

  • Most agriculture plant are self-inductive for flowering
  • Some plant needs a cold temperature treatment to overcome the resting period or dormancy
  • The chemical reaction of flower induction is the first indication that the plant has attained maturity
  • In certain species the process of flowering depends on environmental factors, especially temperature and light.
