Question

a short day plant, a long day plant and a day neutral plant can flower simultaneously in a given place. give reason how it is possible

Answer 1

The flowering response in short-day plants, long-day plants and day neutral plants is dependent on the duration for which these plants are exposed to light. The short-day plant, long-day plant and neutral plants can flower at the same place provided they have been given an adequate photoperiod. The short day plants need less duration of light and neutral plants are not dependent on duration of light. Thus, if both of them get more hours of light that will not affect them. Hence, if adequate photoperiod is provided for long day plants, the short day and day neutrals plants will also grow along with them.
