Abstract

Two SD cycles are necessary for initiation of floral buds in Impatiens balsamina L., var. Rose. Floral buds are also initiated in plants exposed to only one SD cycle +16- or 20-hr LDs; LDs by themselves are noninductive. Floral bud initiation is hastened and the number of initiated flowers increases with longer dark periods in the supplementary photoperiodic cycles.
