Question:
What are long-day plants?
Replies:
Long-day plants are those that require a long period of exposure to light
each day in order to produce flowers. In the laboratory, we grow long-
day plants under a regimen of 16 hours of light followed by 8 hours of dark
ness. Plants use environmental cues such as amount of light and temperature
to time their development to the season of the year.
