photomorphogenesis

which of the following process may be induced by low temperatures

b. breaking bud dormacy

c. flowering

d. all

all

what happens to cells after the first killing frost

a. all of these happen

b. water flows out of the protoplasm

c. the cells become desiccated and die

d. ice cells rupture cell walls and cell membranes

a. all

these are three potential reasons for delay in what?

1. lack of water

2. soil composition

3. planting to deep

seed germination

why is it important to have early vigorous vegetative growth when growing crops because..

a. the plant will be able to absorb more water and nutrients

b. a plant with a bigger leaf area will be better able to support other plants

c, there will be a greater amount of shoot harvested

d all of these

d. all

which of the following is a characteristic of indeterminate tomato plants

b. the shoot grows until plant senescence

c. it has a long harvest time

d. all

all

name two things that can cause a reduction in fruit setting

extreme temperatures, drought conditions

changes occur in the ovary in preparation for the development of the fruit

fruit setting

The process in which plants are subjected to a cold period to induce flower initiation and development

vernalization

the process in which imbibed seeds are subjected to cold temps to overcome seed dormacy

stratification

what may cause induction of flowering in plants (3)

cold temp, heat accumulation, photoperiod

True or False:

water makes up a small part of the plant structure

false

reproductive maturity of a plant is reached when the plant

begins to produce flowers

the term vegetative growth refers to growth in which parts of the plant

roots, stems, and leaves

transition from juvenile to maturity

phase change

pollen will not germinate on stigma

incompatibility

union of male and female gametes to form a zygote

fertilization
