“…Reversion is a result of changes in inductive and noninductive stimuli that generate an initial, but insufficient, floral signal to maintain morphological floral development (Pouteau et al, 1997). Stimuli capable of evoking a reversion event include manipulations in photoperiod (Biddulph, 1935;Murneek, 1940;Greulach, 1942;Jacobs and Raghavan, 1962;Kasperbauer, Gardner, and Loomis, 1962;Bag-1 nard, 1980; Battey and Lyndon, 1986), temperature (Stokes and Verkerk, 1951;King and Evans, 1969), and chemical treatments (Lord and Eckard, 1987;Marc and Hackett, 1991;Donnison and Francis, 1994). Soybean is a preferential SD plant and its growth and development are sensitive to photoperiod length (Borthwick and Parker, 1938a;Johnson, Borthwick, and Leffel, 1960;Thomas and Raper, 1983;Cregan and Hartwig, 1984;Hadley et al, 1984;Board and Settimi, 1988;Kenworthy, Brown, and Thibou, 1989;Wilkerson et al, 1989).…”
