L'initiation florale, comme la floraison, est souvent très sensible à l'action des facteurs du milieu, notamment de la température (des températures basses en particulier) et de la photopériode. 3, record 1, French, - initiation%20florale
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Il faut observer que les fleurs résultent toujours de la transformation plus ou moins précoce ou plus ou moins tardive d'un méristème caulinaire se changeant en un primordium de fleurs. On appelle ordinairement «mise à fleurs» ou «initiation florale» le début de cette transformation dès qu'il est reconnaissable par des signes cytologiques et histologiques. 2, record 1, French, - initiation%20florale
