Flowers are the fascinating organ of plants but had you ever think that how flowers development occurs. And which environmental signals control flowering, and how are those signals perceived? In this blog we will tell this. • How are environmental signals transduced to bring about the developmental changes associated with flowering? Ultimately this process leads to the production of the floral organs—sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels . FLORAL MERISTEMS AND FLORAL ORGAN DEVELOPMENT Floral meristems usually can be distinguished from vegetative meristems, even in the early stages of reproductive development, by their larger size. The transition from vegetative to reproductive development is marked by an increase in the frequency of cell divisions within the central zone of the shoot apical meristem. In the vegetative meristem, the cells of the central zone complete their division cycles slowly. As reproductive development commences, the increase in the size o...
