Class 11 Biology - Chapter Plant Growth and Development NCERT Solutions | Both a short day plant and a long day pl
Both a short day plant and a long day plant can flower simultaneously in a given place. Explain.
The flowering response in short-day plants and long-day plants is dependent on the durations for which these plants are exposed to light. The short-day plant and long-day plant can flower at the same place, provided they have been given an adequate photoperiod.
