    Which one of the following is correct for blooming of short dayplants?

    A)  The long dark period is not critical

    B)  It is affected by intengaption of long dark period by brief exposure of light

    C)  It is not affected by interruption of long dark period by brief exposure of light

    D)  It is affected if the continuous light period is interrupted

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Short day plants flower when exposed to day lengths shorter than a certain critical  duration. Interruption by dark during long light period does not stimulate flowering. It means they do not flower if dark period is interrupted by a flash of light. They are also called long night plants.                             In contrast, interruption by dark during long light period does not inhibit flowering in long-day plants (short-night plants).
