Chapter 8 Flowering and reproductive physiology in plant
Section 1 JuvenilityJuvenility(幼年期) is an age or a physiological state of plant before flower differentiation, in which it is unable to flower, even if plant grows an environment for flowering.
“童期” of fruit trees.
• 1.1 Characteristics of juvenility• Flowering can not be induced.• Phase length Varies form only 1 year in certain
shrubs up to 40years in beech(山毛榉).• Morphologies:• Simple primary leaf to trifoliate leaves• Needlelike leaf to scalelike leaf (鳞片状叶)• Stems :creeping vine to shrublike
Usually, the basal part of tree is juvenility and the top is mature or adult in physiology.
• 1.2 The methods to shorten juvenility• (1) Long-day treatment shorten the
juvenility form 5~10 y to 1 y of birch(桦树).
• (2) grafting makes lots of fruit trees flowering in 2-3 y.
• (3) GAs treatments can induce flowering in juvenility of ivy,cypress (柏) and fir.
• Section 2 Vernalization• Vernalization 春 化 ( 作 用 ) refers low-
temperature promotion of flowering.
• After seed germination, the germinating seed (seedling) is treated with low T and sown in the warm field. The plant can flowers in summer day, which is called vernalization at early time. Now every response of plant life cycle to low T is called vernalization.
• Vernalization-required plants :winter annuals,wheat,barley and rape etc. most of biennials: carrot ,beet, celery and black henbane(天仙子) as well as some perennials: carnation
• 2.1 Characteristics of vernalization• 2.1.1 Temperature and time of vernalization• -4℃—12℃。Most efficient 1~2℃。• Reaction between temperature and time: In the range of
vernalization temperature, The lower T, the shorter time.• The lower temperature for vernalization the plant needs,
the longer time lasts.• Table 8-1 Temperature and time for vernalization of wheat• Types temperature range(℃ ) days• Spring wheat 5~15 5~8• Semi winter wheat 3 ~ 6 10~15• Winter wheat 0 ~3 40 ~45类型
• 2.1.2 The part sensitive to low temperature•• Celery test• shoot apex-------low temperature, other part of plant------
normal (higher) temperature, the plant can flower. • shoot apex------- normal (higher) temperature, other part of
plant------ low temperature, the plant can flower
• The main part sensitive to low temperature is apical cone of stem (shoot apical meristem).
• All tissue whose cell can divide response to low temperature and pass through vernalization . 。
• 2.1.3 The stage sensitive to low temperature• A vernalization treatment is effective only
actively growing plant. Cold treatment or dry seed will not suffice. Thus winter cereals may be vernalized as soon as the embryo has imbibed water and the germination process has been initiated (种子春化).
• Other plants, cabbage and Hyascramus in particular the biennial, must reach a certain minimum size before they can be vernalized (绿体春化) ,
• In general, the plant flowering need long day period and higher temperature after finishing vernalization, which induces flower differentiation.
• 2.1.4 Devernalization• Before finishing vernalization, the effect will
lost under high temperature-----devernalization25~40℃。
• 2.2 Mechanism of vernalization• 2.2.1 Metabolism induction hypothesis :• Vernalization only act the meristem of shoot
apex. The effect can transfer form the cell to cell, not from organ to organ.

Note the prominent flowers (arrows) in Japanese morning glory under short days and in black henbane under long days . Plants of each species under both photoperiod regimes are of the same age.
• 3.1 Plant types responsive to photoperiodism
• 3 basal types for photoperiodism:SDP、LDP and DNP。
• 3.1.1 Short day plants, SDP• The plant can only flower under daylength shorter
than its critical day length of 24 h cycle.• Such as morning glory( 牵 牛 ), cocklebur( 苍 耳 ),
chrysanthemums, tobacco, late soybean, late rice and late maize.
• They usually flower in autumn or early spring.
• 3.1.2 Long day plants,LDP• The plant can only flower under daylength
longer than its critical day length of 24 h cycle.• Such as wheat, rye, henbane, beet,carrot etc.• They usually flower in spring end or summer。
• 3.1.3 Day-neutral plants, DNP (日中性植物)
• Without critical daylength, they can flower in any day length of 24h cycle, if other conditions are satisfied.
• Such as tomato, cucumber, egg plant and bean.• After bred for long time , most of crops are not
sensitive to day length, Such as early rice, spring soybean, spring maize and cotton.
• 3.1.4 Critical day(CD,临界日长)• CD is referred as the day length of 24h cycle is
the shortest day length for LDP flower and the longest day length for SDP flower.

• 3.4.4 Relationship between vernalization and photoperiodism
• Most of plants requiring vernalization belong to LDPs: Wheat, barley, spinach, sugarbeet, carnation.
• Chrysanthemums is LT-SD plant, and faba, pea are LT-DN plants.
• 3.4.5 Application of photoperiodism on production
• (1) Introduced crop(引种) . • The Northern Hemisphere: The law for the
inducing crops:• SDP induced from south to north, growth stage longer,
early matured cultivar can be done. On contrary, from north to south, growth stage shorter, lately matured cultivar can be done.
• LDP induced from south to north, growth stage shorter, lately matured cultivar can be done. On contrary, from north to south, growth stage longer, early matured cultivar can be done.
• (2) Select suitable sowing stage• SDP or LDP or DNP. Genetic male sterility
induced by daylength.
• (3)Regulation of flower time:• (a)Hybrids: Two parents flower at same
time (父、母本花期相遇).• (b)Flash flower production:• Early or late flower controlled by SD or LD.• SD treatment make chrysanthemums flower
early and darkness broken (extension of day time) results in flower late.
• 3.5 Characteristics of phytochrome• 3.5.1 Chemical characters• Phytochrome ( 1959 ) ——lettuce (Grand
Rapids).
•Two form: Pr----one form absorbing red light (660) and the other absorbing far red light (730)
Phytochrome is complex of chromophore and protein, and chromophore is consist of four pyrrole in line.
• In physiology Pfr is active form and Pfr is inactive form.
• However, plant flowering depend on the ratio of Pfr/ Pr.
• Higher ratio of Pfr/ Pr is advantage to LDP flower and lower ratio of Pfr/Pr is satisfied to SDP flower.
• 3.5.2 Physiological function and mechanism of phytochrome
• 3.5.2.1 Physiological effects :• Seed germination; De-etiolation ( 去黄化 ); Stem
elongation; Plumular hook opening; Leaf and cotyledon expansion; Chlorophyll synthesis; Chlorophyll development; Circadian clock; Photoperiodic floral induction; Sensitivity to phototropic stimulus; Enzyme activation; Gene activation /repression; Transmembrane potential; Anthocyanin synthesis
3.5.2.2 Mechanism of photochrome function
Phytochrome activity is modulated by phosphorlation status.
Following activation by red light, the phy-associated phosphatasePAPP5 and as-yet unidentified kinase modulated phy activity in response to the intensity or quality of light. (After ryu et al. 2005)

• Section 4 Morphology and physiology of floral formation
• 4.1 Changes in morphology and physiology of floral differentiation
• 4.1.1 Morphology
• Remarkable events: • Initial elongation of apical cone in monocots• Enlargement of apical cone in dicots
• Mulberry(桑树), spinach and willow.
• Little effect by environmental conditions,use them base on the aims.
• Male has some stronger metabolic pathway.
• 4.2.2、Monoecism(雌雄同株):• A、Monocling(雌雄同花):cotton、rice,
wheat. Impossible sexual change.• B、Dicling(雌雄异花):• maize, cucumber, pumpkin and castor
• Plant hormones and environmental conditions can often control the sexual differentiation.
• Sufficient N and H2O, CO and C2H2 treatment, pinching ( 打顶 ) to favorite female.
• GA treatment,low N or H2O to favorite female.
• 4.3 Molecular models of flower development• Based on anatomy, genetics and molecular

Fig 19.8 LEAFY(LFY), a gene for floral meristem identity, is necessary and sufficient to convert indeterminate shoots into flowers in Arabidopsis.(A) In lfy mutants, shoots that would normally develop as flowers are converted to indeterminate shoots. All of the secondary shoots shown here have emerged in the position in which flowers would develop on a wild-type inflorescence. (B) In a 35S:LFY plant that expresses LFY constitutively, secondary shoots are converted into flowers and the primary shoot terminates early in a flower or cluster of flower.
• Section 5 Physiology of fertilization• 5.1 Structure and germination of pollen• 5.1.1 Structure of pollen
Outer wall
Inner wall
Germmination pore
• 5.1.2 Structure of pollen (P)• Double wall: the outer with germination pore and• P recognizing proteins, the inner with hydrolases• Neuclei:vegetative neucleus (larger one) and • reproductive one (sperm)——2-cell(neucleus) pollen; • vegetative neucleus and 2 reproductive neuclei• (sperms)——3-cell(neucleus) pollen• Pollen fertility depends on sugar, starch and Pro and
pigment contents. The higher contents are better fertility. • Pollinated by insects——higher pigment contents• Pollinated by wind ——higher starch contents.
• 5.1.3 Recognition and fertilization• Rcongnition: A special reaction between
two cell to get some information for cell fusion.
• Fertilization:A process of anisomerogamy(雌雄配子结合). Fertilization depends oncompatibility (亲和性) between pollen and stigma (柱头).
• The proteins in outer wall of pollen undergo recognition substance as well as the proteins in the surface of stigma.
• If compatibility, the substance in the surface of stigma can induce pollen germination and pollen can produce hydrolase to make stigma hydrolysis. The pollen tuber elongates, pass through stigma and fertilizes.
• If incompatibility, the stigmatic pappillawill produce tylosis to black the entrance of pollen tuber or/and produce hydrolases(Rnase and protease) to degrade RNA and protein of pollen tuber and kill the pollens.
• Incompatibility in distant crossing often show that pollen tuber in stigma slowly elongates and does not reach to embryo sac.
• Self incompatibility is common in nature and about half of plants is incompatible, which are controlled by a serious multiple alleles. This incompatibility occurs when same S alleles exist in both male and female.
Fig 19.32 Genetics of self-incompatibility. (A) gemetophytic self incompatibility (GSI) and (B) sporophytic self incompatibility (SSI).
• 5.2 Factors affecting fertilization• 5.2.1 Vigor of pollen• Longevity of 3-cell(neucleus) pollen is less than 2-
cell(neucleus) pollen. Rice for 3-5min,wheat for 15-30min, maize for 1d, pear and apple for 70~210d。
• Just dissipated ripen pollen has highest vigor.• Pollen storage:dry, low temperature and low
oxygen (but gramineous needs higher than 40% of RH. ,T 1-5℃。
• Pollen germination and pollen tuber elongation show group effect:The more pollens on the stigma, the faster pollen germination, the longer tuber elongation and the easier fertilization.
• Competition and more ezymes.• Significant increase in yield of crop by
artificial pollination.
• 5.2.2 Viability of stigma• Vary in plant species, most of plants last more than one
weeks. But highest viability appears on flowering day.。• 5.2.3 Environmental conditions• (1) Temperature. Not high and low.• (2) Relative humidity. Middle• (3) Mineral nutrition. • B is necessary for germination and elongation
of pollen. • Sugar (5~25%) is required as nutrition
and osmotic regulator. •
• (4) Wind: pollination of some plants by aid of wind .
• (5) Insects pollination of some plants by insects

• (2) Synthesis and accumulation of storage substance.
• ( a ) Starchy seeds: Soluble sugar accumulates at beginning, and starch increase and reach the highest in the end, while the soluble sugar decreases. 。
• (b)Oil seeds
Soluble sugar and starch accumulate at beginning and then fat accumulates while the farmer decrease.
• As ripening, iodine value of fat (100g of fat consumes grams of I2)rise, and the acid value ( micrograms of NaOH is used to neutralize 100g of fat ) deceases.
• This indicates that oil seed first synthesizes saturated fatty acid , then turn it into unsaturated fatty acid, first forms free fatty acid and then converse it to triglyceride.
• (c)Protein seed• During the ripening carbohydrate contents decrease (a
certain of carbohydrate even at late stage), amino acid and amide rise at first and decrease in the end, stored protein contents reach up maximum at ripen stage.
• (4)dehydration• At late ripening stage, water contents of seed
decline and resistance of seed to dehydration rise as Lea (late embryo abundant) protein, ABA and soluble carbohydrates accumulates.
• 7.1.4 Environmental factors influencing main components of seed
• Soil drought: The grain filling is not enough and protein contents was relatively high as starch contents decrease in great degree.
• Low temperature and difference in temperature between day and night are favor to synthesize fat and unsaturated fat acid.
• K and P can promote sugar transport, starch and fat accumulation. N can increase protein contents of products.
• Fruit develops from embryonic sac(胚囊), floral envelope (花被) or receptacle (花托) after fertilization, which is called seed-fruit .
• Banana is non-seed fruit due to parthenocarpy(单性结实) .IAA content is higher in non-seed fruit than in the seed fruit.

• (4) Austere loss and fruit softening• Tannin degradation or aggregation .• Protopectin degradation and starch dehydration.
• 7.2.3 Environmental conditions affecting fruit development
• (1)Water: deficient water results in slow growth and small fruit. Superfluous water causes fruit drop and less sweet, less aromatic.
• (2)Temperature: Fruit development is enhanced by greater difference in T between day and night. (3)Light: without enough light, fruit is smaller, low sugar contents and poor color.
