Photomorphogenesis in Ferns

  • Chapter
Photomorphogenesis

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 16))

Abstract

The study of plant photomorphogenesis generally aims to elicit the processes by which light is absorbed and by which morphogenetic responses occur. In the case of photoperiodic floral induction, light is absorbed by a leaf. From the leaf it is postulated that a substance (florigen) is transmitted to the shoot apex to change the development in the apex from a vegetative pattern to a reproductive one. Such experimental systems of seed plants, however, have so far been too complex to analyse the elementary processes from light capture in the leaf to the final morphogenetic response in the apex.
