Far-red light promotes flowering in_______________?
Correct answer: A. Short day plant
- A. Short day plant
- B. Long day plant
- C. Day neutral plant
- D. None of these
Explanation
Far-red light converts the active Pfr form of phytochrome into the Pr form, which favours flowering in short-day plants by making the plant respond as though the uninterrupted night is longer. In long-day plants, red light generally promotes the flowering response by producing more Pfr. The common mistake is choosing long-day plant because far-red light is linked with changes in day length, without considering the phytochrome response.
