Ques. 1AIPMT 2001

Which plant is LDP?

  1. Tobacco
  2. Glycine max
  3. Mirabilis jalapa
  4. Spinach

Answer

(4) Spinach

Solution

Long day plants (LDP) flower only when the photoperiod exceeds a critical day length.

⇒ Tobacco (Maryland Mammoth variety) and soybean ( Glycine max) are short day plants, while Mirabilis jalapa (four o'clock plant) flowers irrespective of day length (day-neutral).

∴ Spinach, which flowers in long days of summer, is a long day plant.
