Summary Introduction
To develop:
A hypothesis that explains why it might be adaptive for a plant to flower in response to photoperiod rather than temperature.
Concept introduction:
The growth of plants, depend upon several factors which include availability of water and sun-light. Plants also respond to gravity and touch, and grow towards or away from the direction of the stimulus. For flowering, plants depend upon availability of light.
