9. DEVELOPMENT II In shortday plants flowering is inhibited by the Pfr form of phytochrome In some plants flowering can be induced either by long days or by cold http://www.hcs.ohio-state.edu/hcs300/devel2.htm

Site Index DEVELOPMENT FLOWERING TO SENESCENCE Flowering Light perception is often involved in the control of flowering. When plants flower at a particular time of year it is usually because they respond to day-length. Not all plants are regulated in this way: "day neutral" plants will flower at any time that they are able to grow. So-called "free flowering" garden plants like Petunia and Impatiens have been selected for this feature. Spring- or fall-flowering plants like strawberry and chrysanthemum tend to be short-day plants, whereas summer-flowering plants like coneflower and many grasses tend to be long-day plants. "Long and short day" are misleading terms on two counts: Both may flower with the same actual day-length. The long-day plant requires that the day should be longer than a critical period. The short day plant requires that it should be shorter than a critical period. It would be more accurate to call them "short night" or "long night" plants, since it it the length of night that is important rather than the length of day.

Pollinator Conservation Program Pollinator Conservation Plants for Native Bees Click here to download a PDF, with photos, of this information sheet Native bees are a vital part of our environment. They ensure healthy wildflower communities and bountiful harvests of fruit and vegetables. Unfortunately, bees are suffering from the fragmentation and loss of their habitat and from extensive use of pesticides. Bees require two essential components in their habitat: somewhere to nest and flowers from which to gather nectar and pollen. Native plants are undoubtedly the best source of food for bees, because plants and their pollinators have coevolved. Garden plants may also be good for these important insects. In many landscapes, flowers have been pushed to the margins, surviving on roadsides and field edges, as well as in wild areas and gardens. Providing patches of flowers is one thing we all can do to improve our environment for pollinators. And, creating foraging habitat not only helps bees (and other pollinators) but also results in a beautiful, appealing landscape.

16. Selecting Landscape Plants: Flowering Trees They are dense and thorny plants with white flowers and red fruits, though exceptions to these characteristics exist. Many are native to North America. http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/envirohort/426-611/426-611.html

Selecting Landscape Plants: Flowering Trees Adapted by Diane Relf, Extension Specialist, Environmental Horticulture, and Bonnie Appleton, Extension Specialist, Nursery Crops, Virginia Tech Publication Number 426-611, posted June 2000 Introduction In the home landscape, flowering trees are secondary in importance to shade trees. The basic elements of framing, background, and shading are provided by shade trees, while flowering trees provide showy and unusual features with their floral beauty and seasonal interest. In addition, many flowering trees have colorful or interesting fruits which may be edible or attractive to birds. Flowering trees must fit into the landscape. Only after deciding where they can be used most effectively should you try to select the variety to be used. If a certain type of flowering tree is desired, make the necessary changes to fit it into the landscape rather than simply placing it in the first open space. Use relatively few flowering trees in the landscape. A small, residential property usually needs only two or three trees. Rows, large masses, and formal designs can be used more readily on estates or commercial properties. Selections Factors To select wisely among the many species and varieties of flowering trees available, consider:

Planting and care Bamboo flowering Introduction Abstract An Opportunity References ... Site feedback When Bamboo Flowers by Ned Jaquith The Bamboo Garden 1507 SE Alder St., Portland, OR 97214 If you have an incident of bamboo flowering to report, Betty Shor continues to compile a list of flowering in all species of bamboo, from the literature and from individuals. Her list, now 125 pages, incorporates many records from the Smithsonian Institution. She has found that calculating definite flowering intervals is next to impossible even with all this material. She welcomes comments on flowering from individuals and follow-up on seed production. She will answer questions on the recorded flowering dates of any species by e-mail . Her postal address is: Betty N. Shor 2655 Ellentown Road La Jolla, CA 92037 Abstract When bamboo flowers it dies! Anyone familiar with bamboo has probably heard this. Although this sometimes happens it is not inevitable. This phenomenon can often be an opportunity in disguise. Many of the bamboos in cultivation were introduced as single propagules leaving us with but one clone of that species. There may be hidden in the genes of that plant useful characteristics that may of use to the grower. New seed grown clones may be more vigorous, more hardy, more resistant to disease or insects, or perhaps more ornamental. Who knows what new traits may be found.

18. Florigen's Role In Plants Flowering Biologists close in on florigen, the signal that causes plants to flower move through the graft junction to signal flowering in the parts of the plant http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/04/10.21.04/florigen.html

Biologists close in on 'florigen,' the signal that causes plants to flower This Arabidopsis plant from Cornell phloem studies contains a graft scion that makes a flowering protein, CONSTANS, in the leaf. A CONSTANS-generated signal is able to move through the plant and causes the plant to flower precociously. By Sarah Nell Davidson Postdoctoral researcher Brian Ayre was listening attentively at a Cornell seminar on flower development when he asked what seemed like an obvious question: "What is the signal that controls flowering?" The seminar speaker laughed. "They've been trying to figure that out for a hundred years," he said. More laughter followed, as one of Ayre's colleagues shouted from the back of the room: "Florigen!" No one's laughing now. Ayre, currently a faculty member at the University of North Texas, went on to publish a provocative report in the August 2004 issue of Plant Physiology along with his postdoctoral adviser, Robert Turgeon, Cornell professor of plant biology. Their paper recounts the serendipitous discovery that the plant protein, CONSTANS, may be the signal "florigen" that causes plants to flower. Or at least, the researchers say, CONSTANS plays an important role in generating the signal. Trying to understand flowering is a popular pursuit because of its importance in agriculture. Flowers are the precursor of fruit, and if flowering can be controlled, plants can be manipulated to remain in a vegetative or flowering state. Accelerated flowering could lead to a much shorter growing season an important advance for both growers and plant breeders. And the significance for the floriculture industry is equally huge.
