Short-day plants

Japanese: 短日植物 - たんじつしょくぶつ
Short-day plants

This refers to plants in which flower bud formation occurs or is promoted under photoperiodic conditions in which the length of the dark period is longer than a certain time (critical dark period). Simply having a dark period longer than the light period is not effective; a certain amount of continuous dark period is required. Therefore, even if the dark period is sufficiently long, it is ineffective if the light is interrupted midway. Duckweed, goosefoot, morning glory, rice, cocklebur, chrysanthemum, cosmos, perilla, and soybean are examples of short-day plants. Short-day plants generally form flower buds when the day length shortens in nature.

Japanese:

暗期の長さが、ある一定の時間(限界暗期)より長くなるような光周条件下で、花芽の形成がおこるか、あるいはそれが促進される植物をいう。明期より暗期の時間が長いというだけでは効果はなく、一定以上の連続した暗期が必要である。したがって、暗期が十分長くても、途中で光中断を行うと無効である。アオウキクサ、アカザ、アサガオ、イネ、オナモミ、キク、コスモス、シソ、ダイズなどは短日植物である。短日植物は一般に、自然界では日長が短くなると花芽を形成する。
