Synopsis
Photoperiodic response in crimson clover was greatly affected by temperature. Earliest flowering occurred when plants six weeks old were shifted from outside cold frames into a greenhouse with relatively high temperature. High night temperatures from germination to maturity inhibited flower production. Crimson clover flowered earlier as length of photoperiod increased. Under long daylengths the plants produced smaller seed heads, fewer leaves, less branching and greater height than under the shorter photoperiods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
