Thermoperiodism. It has often been observed that plants grow worse in constant
temperatures than with a periodic change in temperature, e.g. relatively cool
during the dark period and relatively warm during the photoperiod. Figure 25.19 ...

Introducing Biological Rhythms: A Primer on the Temporal ...
Thermoperiodism and Temperature Cycles Equally important as the LD cycle, if
not more so in certain organisms, is the 24-h cycle in temperature (Went 1957,
1962, 1974; Liu et al., 1998). The promotion of development by a change
between ...

Meristems, Growth, and Development in Woody Plants: An ...
Circadian Rhythms and Thermoperiodism Even under favorable photoperiodic
conditions some plants are adversely affected by constant temperature and
respond markedly to a day-night temperature differential. Pyrus ussuriensis gives
such ...

Environmental Control of Plant Growth
I. Thermoperiodism One of the first major discoveries in phytotron work was that
of thermoperiodism. Went and co-workers showed that optimal growth in
tomatoes and many other plants was not obtained unless the plants were grown
under ...

Seed Ecophysiology of Temperate and Boreal Zone Forest Trees
The complexity of thermoperiodism (and its investigation) is illustrated in Figure
9.10. There is a lot of good evidence for a response to temperature fluctuation (
i.e., thermoperiodism) in herbaceous perennials and annuals; there is very little
to ...

Sorghum: Origin, History, Technology, and Production
Thermoperiodism was shown to exist in sorghum when shifting a 1 2-hour 30°C/2
1°C thermoperiod out of synchrony with a 12-hour photoperiod caused plants to
initiate much earlier than plants grown under synchronous thermo- and ...

AGRICULTURAL METEOROLOGY
3.8.3 Thermoperiodism The response of plants to diurnal or seasonal fluctuation
in temperature is known as thermoperiodism. A number of physiological
processes, including germination, stem elongation, fruiting, floral development
and ...

Environment and the Experimental Control of Plant Growth
... response of plants to a periodically fluctuating temperature such as the
differences between day and night temperatures. The phenomenon of
thermoperiodism as a controlling factor in plant growth was first described by
F. W. Went (1944).

Agriculture in Dry Lands: Principles and Practice
Basically, the protection is provided by an accumulation of sugars and their
derivatives, which reduce, during freezing, the concentration of potentially
membrane-toxic compounds. Thermoperiodism. Changes in temperature
between day and ...
THERMOPERIODISM AND THERMONASTY For a long time, growers have
recognized that many plants grow better when grown under alternating day/night
temperature regimens. Tomatoes, for example, grow poorly when grown at
constant ...
