Day-extension Blue Light Inhibits Flowering of Chrysanthemum When the Short Main Photoperiod Includes Far-red Light by Annika E. Kohler, Eva M. Birtell, Erik S. Runkle, Qingwu Meng

“…In contrast, plants grown under B60R60FR60 with day-extension B60 took 41 to 67 days to reach the first visible inflorescence with few plants developing open flowers. Plants were tallest at the first open flower and after 9 weeks of treatments when grown under B60R60FR60 with day-extension B60. …”

Global distribution, climatic preferences and photosynthesis‐related traits of C4 eudicots and how they differ from those of C4 grasses by Jessica A. Berasategui, Anže Žerdoner Čalasan, Alexander Zizka, Gudrun Kadereit

“…Abstract C₄ is one of three known photosynthetic processes of carbon fixation in flowering plants. It evolved independently more than 61 times in multiple angiosperm lineages and consists of a series of anatomical and biochemical modifications to the ancestral C3 pathway increasing plant productivity under warm and light‐rich conditions. …”

Studies of Vegetative Growth, Inflorescence Development and Eco-Dormancy Formation of Abscission Layers in <i>Streptocarpus formosus</i> (Gesneriaceae) by Cherise Christina Viljoen, Muhali Olaide Jimoh, Charles Petrus Laubscher

“…Viable commercial production will require cultivation techniques that produce flowering plants all year round. This study investigated the effectiveness of applying root zone heating to <i>S. formosus</i> plants grown in deep water culture hydroponics during the eco-dormancy period in preventing abscission layer formation and in encouraging flowering and assessed the growth activity response of the plants. …”

Quantifying the Impact of Street Greening during Full-Leaf Seasons on Emotional Perception: Guidelines for Resident Well-Being by Nayi Hao, Xinzhou Li, Danping Han, Wenbin Nie

“…Based on our research, we recommend the following actions: (1) increase the amount of visible green in areas with a low Green View Index; (2) plant seasonal and flowering plants like camellia, ginkgo, and goldenrain trees to enhance the diversity and colors; (3) trim plants in areas with low safety perception to improve visibility; (4) introduce evergreen plants like cinnamomum camphor, osmanthus, and pine.…”

Acceleration of Flower Bud Differentiation of Runner Plants in “Maehyang” Strawberries Using Nutrient Solution Resupply during the Nursery Period by Hee Sung Hwang, Hyeon Woo Jeong, Hye Ri Lee, Hyeon Gyu Jo, Hyeon Min Kim, Seung Jae Hwang

“…The W20 + N20 group showed faster flower bud development than the other groups at 10 days before transplanting and on the day of transplanting (2.2 and 5.5), 6 days in a primary cluster budding ratio, and 16 days in flowering plants. No differences in fruit characteristics were observed for the different treatments. …”
