Information about Short Day Plant
A short day plant is a plant that cannot flower under the long days of summer. Short day plants typically flower in the fall of the year. These plants require a certain number of hours of darkness in each 24 hour period (a short daylength) before floral development can begin. Plants use the phytochrome system to sense daylength or photoperiod.
Examples of short day plants
Obligate requirement:- Chrysanthemum
- Coffee,
- Poinsettia
- Strawberry
- Tobacco, var. Maryland Mammouth
- Common duckweed, Lemna minor
- Cocklebur (Xanthium sp.)
- Maize - tropical cultivars only - others are day neutral plants
- Hemp (Cannabis sp.),
- Cotton (Gossypium sp.),
- Rice,
- Sugar cane.

Phytochrome is a photoreceptor, a pigment that plants use to detect light. It is sensitive to light in the red and far-red region of the visible spectrum. Many flowering plants use it to regulate the time of flowering based on the length of day and night (photoperiodism) and to set
