Life-History Variation and the Control of Flowering in Short-Lived Monocarps

A classification is given of short-lived monocarps that is based on the need for vernalization, size requirement for vernalization and size requirement for photo-induction. It is discussed how this classification may be used to understand the life-history variation found within and between plant spe...

Summary:A classification is given of short-lived monocarps that is based on the need for vernalization, size requirement for vernalization and size requirement for photo-induction. It is discussed how this classification may be used to understand the life-history variation found within and between plant species.
