PHOTOPERIODISM IN PLANTS
• The concept of photoperiodism was given by W.W. Garner & H.A. Allard of the U.S Department of Agriculture, studied flowering in Maryland's mammoth variety of Tobacco plant in 1920.
• ‘PHOTOPERIODISM':-derived from 2 Greek words i.e.,'photos' (light) & periods (length of time).
• With a few exceptions, virtually all organisms (plant & animals) need exposure to light for a given number of hours per day for a variety of growth and reproductive functions. This day length is called PHOTOPERIOD & the phenomenon is called PHOTOPERIODISM.
• The flowering plant comprises 2 phases i.e, vegetative & reproductive.
• Under an appropriate photoperiod, plant switches from vegetative to reproductive phase, responding to the synthesis of flowering hormones & its subsequent translocation to buds. (Bartholomew,1977)
• The effect of daily duration of light hours(& dark periods) on the growth & development of plants, especially flowering is called photoperiodism.
CRITICAL DAY LENGTH
• Critical day length is the photoperiod required to induce flowering.
• It varies from species to species.
• e.g-Xanthium (SDP) requires a critical day length of 15.5hrs (15.5 light/8.5 dark).
• Critical photoperiod mustn't be exceeded in short-day plants & should always be exceeded in long-day plants.
• A single photoperiodic cycle that induces flowering-Inductive cycle & its effect is called Photoperiodic induction.
Depending upon the duration of the photoperiod, plants are classified into 3 categories:
1. Short Day Plants (SDP):
These plants require a relatively short daylight period (usually 8-10 hours) and a continuous dark period of about 14-16 hours for subsequent flowering.E.g.:-Strawberry, coffee, pineapple, etc.
o These plants are also known as long-night-plants.
2. Long day plants (LDP):
These plants require a longer daylight period (usually 14-16 hours) in a 24 hours cycle for subsequent flowering.
o Also called as short night plants.
E.g.:-Apple, passion fruit, etc..
3. A day-neutral plant (DNP):
This plants flower in all photoperiods ranging from 5 hrs to
24 hrs of continuous exposure.
e.g.:- Banana, guava, tomato, brinjal, etc…
-Dual Day Length Plants
Long Short Day Plants(LSDP):
These are short-day plants but must be exposed to long days during early periods of growth for subsequent flowering.
e.g.:- species of Bryophyllum, night jasmine, etc..
Short-Long Day Plants(SLDP):
These are long-day plants but must be exposed to short days during early periods of growth for subsequent flowering.
e.g.:- Wheat (Triticum), Rye (Secale), etc.

Photoperiodism is the phenomenon of physiological changes that occur in plants in
response to relative length of day and night (i.e. photoperiod). The response of the plants to
the photoperiod, expressed in the form of flowering is also called as photoperiodism. The
phenomenon of photoperiodism was first discovered by Garner and Allard (1920).Depending
upon the duration of photoperiod, the plants are classified into three categories.
1. Short day plants (SDP)
2. Long day plants (LDP)
3. Day neutral plants (DNP)
Vernalization is the induction of a plant's flowering process by exposure to the prolonged cold of winter, or by an artificial equivalent. After vernalization, plants have acquired the ability to flower, but they may require additional seasonal cues or weeks of growth before they will actually flower.The vernalization requirement ensures that plants do not flower in the fall when the environmental conditions are unfavorable for reproduction. The strength of the vernalization requirement can vary within plant species.

flowering is perhaps the most important physiological phenomenon in the life-cycle of higher plants. it is a resultant of a range of internal and external factors, that leads to the activity of a plethora of genes, that leads to the development of flowers
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. What is photoperiodism?
The response of an organism to seasonal
change in day length.
The plants in order to flower require a
certain day length I.e.,the relative length of
day and night which is called photoperiod.
The response of plants to the photoperiod
expressed in the from of flowering is called
photoperiodism.
4. The phenomenon of photoperiodism was first
discovered by Garner and Allard ( 1920,22) who
observed that the Biloxi variety of , Soybeans (
glycine max and 'Maryland Mammoth ' variety of
tobacco ( Nicotina tabacum) could be made to
flower only when the daily exposure to the light
was reduced below a certain critical duration and
after many complex experiment conduded that '
the relative length of the day is a factor of the first
importance in the growth and development of
plants.'
5. Depending upon the duration of the photoperiod they
Classified plants into three categories:-
①Short Day Plants ( SDP)
②Long Day Plants ( LDP)
③Day Neutral Plants
6.
7. Short Day Plants ( SDP)
These plants require a relatively short day light
period ( usually 8- 10 hours ) and a continuos dark
period of about 14- 16 hours for subsequent
flower.
Some examples of these plants which are also
known as long - night - plants are Maryland
Mammoth variety of tobacco ( Nicotina tabacum)
Biloxi variety of Soybeans ( Glycine max .),
cocklebur ( xanthium Pennsylvanicum).
8.
9. 1. In short day plants the dark period is critical
and must be continuous . If this dark period is
interrupted even with a brief exposure of red
light ( 660- 665 mu wavelength ) , the short day
plant will not flower.
2. Interruption of the light period by dark does not
have inhibitory effect on flowering in short day
plants.
3. Prolongation of the continuous dark period
initiates early flowering in short day plants.
10.
11. Long Day Plants ( LDP)
These plants require a longer day light period (
usually 14 - 16 hours) in a 24 hours cycle for
subsequent flowering.
Some examples of these plants are which are also
called as short night plants are hyoscymas Niger
(Henbane) spinacea ( spinch) Beta vulgaris ( sugar
beet).
1. In long day plants the light period is critical .
2. A brief exposure in the dark period or the
prolongation of the light period stimulates
flowering in long day plants.
12.
13. Day Neutral Plants
These plants flower in all photoperiods ranging
from 5 hours to 24 hours continuous exposure .
Some of the example of these plants are tomato ,
cotton , sunflower ,cucumber and certain varieties
of peas and tobacco
During recent years certain intermediate
categories of plants have also been recognized
.they are.
14. Importance of photoperiodism
A knowledge of the phenomenon of photoperiodism has
been of great practical importance in hybridization
experiments.
Although the floral hormone ' florigen ' has not yet been
isolated the isolation and characterization of this
hormone will be of utmost economic importance.
The phenomenon of photoperiodism is an excellent
example of physiological preconditioning (or after
effect) where an external factor ( I.e., the photoperiod
stimulus ) induces some physiological changes in the
plant the effect of which is not immediately visible .
15. Floral Induction
Floral Induction is physiological process that occurs
when the apical meristem becomes strong enough /
capable of developing flowers.
The process happens naturally in healthy plants , or ,
can be hurried up by gardeners through the
application of growth promoters.
Various plants undergo flower initiation at various
times.
Floral Induction , sometimes referred to as flower
initiation , refers to the first stage of flowering , or the
onset of flower development , where the buds of a
plant became identificable start to form.
17. Three types of genes regulate
floral development:
Studies of mutations have enabled identification
of three classes of genes that regulate floral
development:-
①Meristem identity genes
②Floral organ identity genes
③Cadastral genes
18. Meristem identity genes :--encode transcription factors that are
necessary for the initial Induction of organ identity genes.
• They are the positive regulators of floral organ identity in the
developing floral meristem.
Floral organ identity genes:- directly control floral identity.
• The proteins encoded by these genes are transcription factors
that likely control the expression of other genes whose products
are involved in the formation and /or function of floral organ.
Cadastral genes:-act as spatial regulators of the floral organ
identity genes by setting boundaries for their expression.
19. The four different types of floral organs are
initiated as separate whorls:-
Floral meristem initiate four different types of
floral organs:- sepals , petals , stamens, carpels.
These sets of organs are initiated in concentric
rings ,called whorls ,around the flanks of the
meristem.
The initiation of the innermost organs, the
carpels, consumes all of the meristematic cells in
the apical dome, and only the floral organ
primordia are present as the floral bud develops.
20. In the wild type Arabidopsis flower , the whorls
are arranged as follows :-
The first ( outermost ) whorl consist of four sepals , which
are green at maturity.
The second whorl is composed of four petals ,which are
white at maturity.
The third whorl contains six stamens ( the male
reproductive structure ) , two of which are shorter than
the other four.
The fourth whorl is a single complex organ , the gynocieum
or pistil ( the female reproductive structure) which is
composed of an ovary with two fused carpels ,each
containing numerous ovules and a short style capped with
a stigma.
21.
22. Flowering
Hormone
There is an
increasing evidence
to suggest that a
flowering hormone
exists in plants.
Two important
evidences regarding
the existence of the
hormones are given
below :-
23. Flowering Hormone
There is a spatial separation of the site of stimulation
and the site of the response .
The buds do not perceive the stimulates for the
flowering.
The leaves , which perceive the stimuls transmit it to
the buds , obviously in the form of a flowering
hormone.
The existence of a flowering hormone is supported by
a number of grafting experiment .
A short day plant kept in long day conditions can be
induced to flower , if a properly photo induced plant is
grafted on to it.
