What is the pigment responsible for photoperiodism?
Action spectra and photoreversibility experiments show that phytochrome is the pigment that receives the red light. Red light is the most effective color in interrupting the night-time portion of the photoperiod.
Are all wavelengths of light equal in phototropism?
No. Different forms of phytochrome absorb different wavelengths of light. Different forms of phytochrome are scattered throughout the plant. This allows the plant to perceive different intensities, wavelengths, and quality of light. Hope that helped!
What did the early experiments on photoperiodism demonstrate?
Early experiments on photoperiodism demonstrated that the length of daylight exposure influenced the flowering and reproductive processes of plants. This research showed that plants could sense and respond to changes in day length, triggering physiological changes such as blooming. These findings laid the foundation for understanding the role of light in regulating plant growth and development.
How does critical night length control photoperiodism?
Photoperiodism is the response of the plant to daylight and darkness. For short day plants it will bloom in darkness and when darkness exceeds critical night length, for long day plants it will bloom during daylight and when darkness is less than the critical night length.
What is the difference between florigen and phytochrome?
florigen )its a hormone responsible for inducing flowering in plants directly )moves from leaves to the apex inducing flowering by phloem mechanism )no inter conversion from one phase to other phytochrome )it is a light absorbing pigment which induces flowering in long day plants )pigments p660 and p730 absorb red and far red light respectively )p660absorbs red light and immediately converts into p730 and as p730 absorbs far red light which induces flowering thus flowering is induced in long day plants because p730 is present in day
What is the pigment responsible for photoperiodism?

What is the prefix that means plant?
phyto-. e.g. phytochrome
Plant sellers can cause plants to bloom on schedule by influencing the length of the?
daylight hours - its called photoperiodism
What are the 3 plant tropisms and their functions?
The three plant tropisms include geotropism, thigmotropism,hydrotropism and photoperiodism.
In which form is the phytochrome at the end of a sunny day?
Primarily PR far red phytochrome(novanet)
What has the author R M M Crawford written?
R. M. M. Crawford has written: 'Studies in plant survival' -- subject(s): Plants, Adaptation, Plant ecology 'Morphological and metabolic changes in the apical bud with relation to photoperiodism in Salvia splendens' -- subject(s): Buds, Salvia, Photoperiodism
What are the example of chromoprotein?
The red and far red light plant signalling molecules Phytochrome are Chromoproteins.http://www.nature.com/nrm/journal/v3/n2/abs/nrm728.html
How does sunlight affect plant reproduction?
It is well known that photoperiodism is largely responsible for flowering. The initiation of reproductive phase is a light dependent phenomenon in majority of plants.
Commercial plant growers artificially control the lengths of days and nights This produces a response called?
"photoperiodism." Plants detect the duration of light and dark periods to regulate their growth, flowering, and other physiological processes. By manipulating light exposure, growers can induce specific developmental stages in plants.
Are all wavelengths of light equal in phototropism?
No. Different forms of phytochrome absorb different wavelengths of light. Different forms of phytochrome are scattered throughout the plant. This allows the plant to perceive different intensities, wavelengths, and quality of light. Hope that helped!
What factor controls photoperiodism in flowering plants?
Photoperiodism is a mechanism that plants and animals have that reacts to the length of the night and day. It influences flowering because certain types of flowers will only bloom after long periods of darkness, while others can flower during shorter night time periods. Photoperiodism allows the plant to know what time it should flower.
What is the response of plants to periods of light and dark?
photoperiodism
