  2. Crassulacean acid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crassulacean_acid_metabolism

    This allows these trees to benefit from the elevated growth rates of C 3 photosynthesis, when water is plentiful, and the drought tolerant nature of CAM, when the dry season occurs. Plants which are able to switch between different methods of carbon fixation include Portulacaria afra, better known as Dwarf Jade Plant, which normally uses C 3 ...

  3. Cold hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_hardening

    Plants in temperate and polar regions adapt to winter and sub zero temperatures by relocating nutrients from leaves and shoots to storage organs. [1] Freezing temperatures induce dehydrative stress on plants, as water absorption in the root and water transport in the plant decreases. [ 2 ]

  4. Photoperiodism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoperiodism

    Day-neutral plants, such as cucumbers, roses, tomatoes, and Ruderalis (autoflowering cannabis) do not initiate flowering based on photoperiodism. [18] Instead, they may initiate flowering after attaining a certain overall developmental stage or age, or in response to alternative environmental stimuli, such as vernalisation (a period of low ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis (/ ˌ f oʊ t ə ˈ s ɪ n θ ə s ɪ s / FOH-tə-SINTH-ə-sis) [1] is a system of biological processes by which photosynthetic organisms, such as most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, convert light energy, typically from sunlight, into the chemical energy necessary to fuel their metabolism.
