ADVERTISEMENTS:
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between florigen and other hormones.
Florigen:
1. It is a hypothetical flower-inducing growth hormone which has still not been isolated.
2. It is produced in response to a specific period of day length typical of a plant.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
3. Florigen is considered to be the same in all the flowering plants.
4. It induces only flowering. It is neither a growth promoter nor a growth inhibitor.
Other Hormones:
1. These are the known chemicals which regulate growth in plants.
2. Other hormones are produced irrespective of the stimulus of light.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
3. Other hormones are of various types.
4. Other hormones may induce, inhibit or show no effect on flowering. However, they stimulate or inhibit growth.
