In an experiment represented in the schematic below, a plant species was grown in different day and night cycles and its photoperiodic flowering behaviour was noted. This species is a(A)  short day plant and actually measures day length to flower(B)  short day plant and actually measures night length to flower (C)  long day plant and actually measures night length to flower(D)  long day plant and actually measures day length to flower 

Answer»

Correct option  (B) short day plant and actually measures night length to flower

Explanation:

SDP (Short day plants) or LNP (Long Night Plants) flowers only when photoperiod is below critical day length (Critical photoperiod) or they are responsible to night length and flower when night length is above critical dark period.

In this experiment plant flowers when dark period is above 8 hrs. So, it is SDP and actually measures night length to flower.
