Q
short day plants
A
During the day, for short days, it’s not bright for a long amount of time, so less PFR is made. But the night is very long, so lots of this PFR gets converted back to PR. But we said PFR is inhibiting. But since we’re left with lots of PR, does that mean that the plant can now grow the next day
