Simulation of Growth and Yield in Cotton: III. Environmental Control of Morphogenesis1

J. D. Hesketh, D. N. Baker and W. G. Duncan2

Time intervals between the appearance of leaves, floral buds and flowers at successive main stem and fruiting branch nodes of the cotton plant (Gossypium hirsutum L.) were studied in eight temperature regimes at the Southeastern Environmental Plant Laboratories. The time interval between such events on the main stem or the first node of the fruiting branch, as affected by temperature, would seem to provide (with some qualifications) a simple physiological time-base for modeling plant development. Our observations agreed fairly well with a physiological time concept attributed to Zaitzev in 1927.

Key Words: Temperature • Flowering • Fruiting • Plastochron leaf growth
