Effects of Vernalization, Photoperiod, and the Cotyledon on Flower Initiation in Greenfeast Peas

Abstract

Estimates have been made of the quantitative contribution of each of the determinant factors, photoperiod, vernalization, and colysanthin (a presumed inhibitor of flower initiation formed in the cotyledon), in regulating flower initiation in the late-flowering pea cultivar Greenfeast.
