Temperature has both direct and indirect effects on flowering. Certain plants will flower if exposed to lower temperatures, regardless of the length of day. Some plants flower as a result of a combination of day-length and temperature. The response of the plant to temperature is called thermoperiodism. 3, record 1, English, - thermoperiodism

thermopériodisme. [...] Il s'agit de la succession des variations de la température au cours d'une période déterminée, que celle-ci soit journalière ou annuelle. On s'est aperçu que, pour obtenir la meilleure croissance (pour la tomate par ex), la température optimum de nuit n'était pas la température de jour. D'autre part, pour certaines espèces ou variétés, l'aptitude à fleurir est conditionné par la nécessité pour la plante d'être exposée un certain temps à des températures froides. 2, record 1, French, - thermop%C3%A9riodisme

Un autre facteur fondamental c'est la thermopériode, c'est-à-dire le rythme diurne ou annuel des températures. L'adaptation à ces variations thermiques est appelée le thermopériodisme. 3, record 1, French, - thermop%C3%A9riodisme
