Long-day plants

Japanese: 長日植物 - ちょうじつしょくぶつ
Long-day plants

Long-day plants are plants in which flower bud formation occurs or is promoted under photoperiodic conditions where the length of the dark period is shorter than a certain time (critical dark period). If the length of the dark period is short enough, the length of the light period is irrelevant. In cases of long dark periods, flower bud formation can be observed by interrupting the light. Wheat, Arabidopsis, dianthus, henbane, spinach, Rose of Sharon, Dianthus orbiculatus, and blue chickweed are examples of long-day plants. Long-day plants generally form flower buds when the day length becomes longer in nature. Many long-day plants require a certain period of cold before the photoperiodic conditions (long days) are met (long-day biennial plants).

Japanese:

暗期の長さがある一定の時間(限界暗期)より短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。暗期の長さが十分に短ければ、明期の長さは関係がない。長い暗期の場合、光中断を行うと花芽形成がみられる。コムギ、シロイヌナズナ、ナデシコ、ヒヨス、ホウレンソウ、ムクゲ、ムシトリナデシコ、ルリハコベなどは長日植物である。長日植物は一般に、自然界では日長が長くなると花芽が形成される。長日植物の多くは、光周条件(長日)が整う以前に、一定期間、寒冷期を経ることを必要とする(越年性長日植物)。
