Q

What are the 2 interchangeable forms of phytochrome?

A

Phytochrome 660
Phytochrome 730

17
Q

What is phytochrome 660?

A

Absorbs red light and rapidly converts to p730

18
Q

What is phytochrome 730?

A

Absorbs light in the far-red region of the spectrum, rapidly converts to p660

19
Q

A phytochrome =

A

protein + pigment

20
Q

What is photoperiodism?

A

A major influence on the timing of flowering in many plants is the length of day

21
Q

What is an example of a long day plant?

A

Poppy

22
Q

What is a long day plant also known as?

A

Short night plants

23
Q

What are long day plants?

A

Only flower if the length of day exceeds 12 hours - usually summertime

24
Q

What is an example of a short-day plant?

A

Chrysanthemum

25
Q

What are short-day plants also known as?

A

Long night plants

26
Q

What are short-day plants?

A

Only flower if the day length is shorter or less than 12 hours - usually autumn or winter

27
Q

What is an example of a neutral day plant?

A

Tomatoes

28
Q

What is a day neutral plant?

A

When the plants have grown sufficiently and flower regardless of the photoperiod

29
Q

What is the p730?

A

Physiologically active form of the pigment - it stimulates or inhibits flowering
