[2] [3] It is known by the English common names tuber fleeceflower [4] and Chinese (climbing) knotweed. It is known as he shou wu (何首烏) in China and East ...
Spring flowering bulbs need a cold period and some moisture to put down roots. "The easiest way to do this is to put the pots outside and let Mother Nature do her thing," says Montgomery.
Plants which do not flower every year can achieve varying degrees of synchrony. Resource consumption can dictate how frequently a dioecious or gynoecious plant flowers, as producing seeds is a significant resource investment. When a plant flowers asynchronously in a year in which few other individuals are flowering, it has few mating ...
Anton Lang showed that several long-day plants and biennials could be made to flower by treatment with gibberellin, even when grown under a non-flower-inducing (or non-inducing) photoperiod. This led to the suggestion that florigen may be made up of two classes of flowering hormones: Gibberellins and Anthesins. [ 18 ]

Plant senescence is the process of aging in plants. Plants have both stress-induced and age-related developmental aging. [1] Chlorophyll degradation during leaf senescence reveals the carotenoids, such as anthocyanin and xanthophylls, which are the cause of autumn leaf color in deciduous trees. Leaf senescence has the important function of ...
