Short day plant
A short day plant is a plant that cannot flower under the long days of summer. Short day plants typically flower in the fall of the year. These plants require a certain number of hours of darkness in each 24 hour period (a short daylength) before floral development can begin. Plants use the phytochrome system to sense daylength or photoperiod. Additional recommended knowledgeExamples of short day plantsObligate requirement:
