“…The reduction of vegetative growth results from stress, and therefore the fl owering of P. frutescens under low-intensity light is another example of stress-induced fl owering. P. frutescens is an obligatory short-day plant (Jacobs 1982 ) that does not have a vernalization requirement. Therefore, the fl owering under long-day conditions found in this study is independent of photoperiodism and vernalization.…”

Plants have a tendency to fl ower if placed under unsuitable growth conditions. A review of the literature reporting such nonphotoperiodic fl owering indicated that most of the factors responsible for fl owering could be regarded as stress. Those stress factors include poor nutrition, high or low temperature, high-or low-intensity light, ultraviolet light, and many others. This fl owering would be called stress-induced fl owering. The plants that were induced to fl ower by stress reached anthesis, produced fertile seeds, and the progeny developed normally in Pharbitis nil and Perilla frutescens var. crispa . Grafting experiments using two varieties of P. nil revealed that a transmissible fl owering stimulus is involved in stressinduced fl owering. Salicylic acid and/or the fl owering gene FLOWERING LOCUS T may be involved in the stress-induced fl owering of P. nil , P. frutescens , Arabidopsis thaliana , and Lemna paucicostata . The stressed plants do not need to wait the arrival of a season when photoperiodic conditions are suitable for fl owering, and such precocious fl owering might assist in species preservation. Thus, stress-induced fl owering might have a biological benefi t and should be considered as important as photoperiodic fl owering and vernalization.

An obligatory short-day plant, Perilla frutescens var. crispa was induced to flower under long-day conditions when grown under low-intensity light (30 micromol m(-2) s(-1)). Plant size was smaller under lower light intensity, indicating that the low-intensity light acted as a stress factor. The phenomenon is categorized as stress-induced flowering. Low-intensity light treatment for 4 weeks induced 100% flowering. The plants responded to low-intensity light immediately after the cotyledons expanded, and the flowering response decreased with increasing plant age. The induced plants produced fertile seeds, and the progeny developed normally. The plants that flowered under low-intensity light had greener leaves. This greening was because of the decrease in anthocyanin content, and there was a negative correlation between the anthocyanin content and percent flowering. Treatment with L-2-aminooxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, an inhibitor of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), did not induce flowering under non-inductive light conditions and inhibited flowering under inductive low-intensity light conditions. The metabolic pathway regulated by PAL may be involved in the flowering induced by low-intensity light.
