Abstract:I examined the effects of growth temperature and winter duration on the leaf phenology of Fauria crista-galli plants, which have an indeterminate growth habit. After a 220-day chilling treatment, the leaf expansion and green periods of plants maintained at 25/20°C were much longer than those of plants maintained at 15/10°C and of plants at the natural habitat obtained in a previous study. The results indicate that early growth cessation and early leaf senescence in the natural habitat are not only due to endog… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
