A honey bee collecting nectar from an apricot flower.. The nectar resource in a given area depends on the kinds of flowering plants present and their blooming periods. Which kinds grow in an area depends on soil texture, soil pH, soil drainage, daily maximum and minimum temperatures, precipitation, extreme minimum winter temperature, and growing degre

At the molecular level, flowering is repressed by the protein Flowering Locus C (FLC), which binds to and represses genes that promote flowering, thus blocking flowering. [ 3 ] [ 14 ] Winter annual ecotypes of Arabidopsis have an active copy of the gene FRIGIDA ( FRI ), which promotes FLC expression, thus repression of flowering. [ 15 ]
