Summary Introduction

How the plants grow towards light and why this response is adaptive.
Concept introduction:
Flowering in plants is associated with the photoperiod or the day length. On the basis of length of the light a plant requires, plants are categorized as long-day or short-night plants, short-day or long-night plants, and day-neutral plants.
