Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Pharbitis nil plants with all leaf blades removed could not be induced to initiate flowers by 5 days of an 8 h light / 16 h dark cycle.
- Intervention effect A leaf area reduced to 1 cm2 was sufficient to cause flower initiation after 5 short days.
- Intervention effect Under favorable conditions some individuals with the leaf blade restricted to 4 cm2 initiated flowers after a 30 h dark period followed by immediate defoliation.
- Observation A small piece of leaf produced relatively more flower buds than expected from its size.
