Abstract:
Why do heliotropes move together with the sun, selenotropes with the moon, moving around to the extent of their ability with the luminaries of the cosmos? All things pray according to their own order and sing hymns, either intellectually or rationally.The aim of this study was to examine the environmental regulation of flower initiation and subsequent development in heliotrope. Five experiments were conducted, two examined whether flowering could be advanced by cool temperatures. The duration of cool temperature required to induce rapid flowering was also investigated. The final three experiments examined the effects of light integral, photoperiod and temperature on flower initiation and development. Both temperature and light integral strongly influenced flower development post-flower bud initiation. However, the response to temperature plotted in terms of the reciprocal of days to flowering was non-linear.
