- Title
NUTRITION AND FLOWERING OF WATER PLANTS.
- Authors
Grainger, John
- Abstract
The article presents hypothesis that is developed from an observation on the flowering of several water plants which was done during a long day of summer. Accordingly, a nocturnal loss of carbohydrate keeps lower in submerged or floating leaf. Moreover, species like Callitriche and Littorella that grows under water find the long-day maximum insufficient for flowering. However, these species flower in aerial conditions and the percentage is much higher than in submerged plants when no nocturnal loss of carbohydrate is found. Furthermore, Table 2 shows that some under water species find the midsummer maximum of carbohydrate sufficient for flowering.
