“…Similar observations have been made in (Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.) Plants exposed to long photoperiods show early flowering (Fernández et al, 2016) and high biomass and distribution (Dasti et al, 2002). In addition, (Singh et al, 2017) discussed a control experiment that used two photoperiod models to evaluate the effects on Arabidopsis flowering: a long photoperiod, long-day LD (16/8 h, light/dark), and short, short-day SD (8/16 h, light/dark).…”

P LANT phenology is a field of study that deals with the timing of the biological stages of plants and how they relate to environmental factors. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject, focusing on how plant phenology responds to various environmental conditions. This field has gained prominence in recent decades because of its ability to monitor the impact of climate change on plant life. It is now considered one of the most critical botanical sciences and plant breeding approaches for understanding plant adaptations to specific environments. Although environmental factors can have detrimental effects on plant growth, understanding the phenological traits of plants can help minimize their adverse effects. For example, by selecting the right sowing date for the crop, farmers, growers, and the agricultural industry can be assured of optimal growing conditions, resulting in higher profits for the agricultural industry and farmers.

An irrigated field study was conducted to determine the relative importance and inter-relationships of growth parameters of three dormant alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivars grown in the highlands of Eastern Anatolia, Turkey, in 2000-2003. The fast-growing cultivar Savas had the greatest dry matter (DM) yield at the final sampling date with the greatest mean crop growth rate. In addition to a greater relative growth rate (RGR), this cultivar had more stem branching and greater leaf area in the canopy, which resulted in greater leaf area index (LAI) and greater leaf area duration. Despite the considerable increase in leaf area ratio (LAR: leaf area per unit shoot DM), the reduction in RGR of all cultivars over time was the result of a large decline in net assimilation rate (NAR) due to increasing specific leaf area (SLA). Intracultivar variation in the RGR of alfalfa is mainly determined by NAR and SLA, and both were significantly higher for Savas than the other two cultivars. The relative importance of NAR and SLA to RGR changed due to increasing self-shading as the LAI of the canopy increased, creating a trade-off between NAR and SLA.
