    Which of the following statements are correct regarding short day plants (SDPs)?

    A)  They are apt to flower in the fall

    B)  They are the same as long as long day plants

    C)  They do not have a critical photoperiod

    D)  All of the above are correct

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Short day plants (SDPs) flower in photoperiods less than critical day length. Further these plants require long uninterrupted dark period and hence called long night plants. These are actually long day plants but in their early life, they need short day conditions, e.g., wheat. SDPs contain anthesins and synthesize gibberelllic acid for flowering.
