Q

plant response to light involving relative length of day and night

A

photoperiodism

21
Q

bloom when days are longest and nights are shortest

A

long day plants

22
Q

bloom in spring late summer and autumn when they are shorter and nights are longer

A

short day plants

23
Q

day length is not important for flowering

A

day neutral plants

24

control by light is due to a pigment in plants

A

phytochrome

25
Q

the process by which pollen is placed on the stigma

A

pollination

26

pollen from a flowers anther pollinates stigma of the same flower

A

self pollination

27
Q

pollen from anther of one flower pollinates another flower’s stigma

A

cross pollination

Q

ripened ovary plus seeds of a flowering plant

A

fruit

38
Q

two main types of fruits

A

dry and fleshy

39
Q

as the fruit develops the outer wall of the ovary thickens and develop into the

A

pericarp

40
Q

in fleshy fruits the per car can be divided into several regions

A

exocarp mesocarp and endocarp

41
Q

types of fruits

A

simple, aggregate and multiple

42
Q

derived from a single carpel or several fuse carpels within one pistil

A

simple fruit

43
Q

results from a single flower that has more than one separate carpel with each forming a separate fruitlet

A

aggregate fruit

44
Q

develops from an inflorescence, the walls of the ovaries taken and fused together

A

multiple fruit

45
Q

fruit development stages

A

cell division, pit hardening, cell enlargement, fruit maturation

46
Q

cell size primarily related to length of growing season

cultivar

47
Q

proportion of fruit growing in high light and competition between shoot and fruit growth

A

root stock

48
Q

factors affecting fruit skin color

A

cultivar, rate of maturation, light, temperature, and nutrition
