The administration of antimetabolities of transcription and translation inhibits the induction of flowering in plants that are dependent on the length of day just as it does in those requiring vernalization. The inhibitors produce their effect partly in the leaf, partly in the shoot meristem. As far as their activity in the leaf is concerned, it may be assumed that they impair the activity of the genes that are involved in the synthesis of the flowering hormone. At least in part their effectiveness in the shoot meristem has to do with subsequent flower differentiation rather than with flower induction the activity of the genes for flower differentiation is interferred with.

I The distinction between mono-and dicotyledonous plants is quite simple monocotyledons are flowering plants which have only one seed leaf, and usually have parallel-veined leaves, flower parts in multiples of three, and no secondary growth in stems and roots, whereas dicotyledons are flowering plants with two seed leaves (cotyledons), net-veined leaves, flower parts in fours and fives, and in woody plants have cambium, a layer of formative cells between the wood and the bark the cells increase by division and differentiate to form new wood and bark.

The influence of zearalenone on the generative development of winter rape was much weaker in comparison with that of wheat. None of the concentrations which stimulated wheat plants induced the flowering of rape plants. Zearalenone treatment stimulated only the first step of the process of the shoot apices generative differentiation (Biesaga-Koscielniak 2001).

Hybrids of graphene with C60 and SWNTs prepared at the interface are of interest because of their possible superior and synergistic properties. Hybrid films of graphene-C60 and graphene-SWNT hybrids have been prepared using liquid-liquid interface. The hybrid film mainly consists of C60 films and flower-like structures. Since C60 is on the surface of graphene, it is difficult to differentiate the two carbons from...

The rapid vegative growth, which includes development of shoots, leaves, and flowers, is controlled by a variety of transcription factors.483 Among these are homeodomain proteins that control differentiation of meristem cells 484-486 The induction of flowering is... 

Inspection of flower primordia in the Japanese cucumber, Somohanhiak, revealed that both staminate and pistillate primordia are present in each flower, and sex expression at anthesis is apparently dependent upon the relative growth rates of the two types of primordia (10). Perhaps this is also true for other cucumber varieties. Thus, environmental or chemical alterations in flower sex expression probably fall under the category of regulation which is an effect on development or maturation, rather than induction or differentiation.
