Photoperiodic control of growth and reproduction in non-flowering plants.

Photoperiodic responses shape the plant fitness to the changing environment and are important regulators of growth, development and productivity. Photoperiod sensing is one of the most important cues to track seasonal variations. It is also a major cue for reproductive success.

Red Light and Glucose Enhance Cytokinin-Mediated Bud Initial Formation in .

Growth and development of is endogenously regulated by phytohormones such as auxin and cytokinin. Auxin induces the transition of chloronema to caulonema. This transition is also regulated by additional factors such as quantity and quality of light, carbon supply, and other phytohormones such as strigolactones and precursors of gibberrelic acid.

Light- and hormone-mediated development in non-flowering plants: An overview.

Light, hormones and their interaction regulate different aspects of development in non-flowering plants. They might have played a role in the evolution of different plant groups by conferring specific adaptive evolutionary changes. Plants are sessile organisms.
