Theory of endogenous rhythm

  • Photophilous phase: light is essential. Anabolism is dominant and catabolism is less or weak hence stimulating the initiation of flowering.
  • Scotophilous phase: dark is essential where the catabolism is dominant and anabolism is weak or less hence inhibiting flowering.
