The Signal to Flower
Flowering involves the conversion of the apical meristem into a floral meristem, from which all the parts of the flower will be produced.
Signals that change the fate of the apical meristem include:
maturity of the plant;
temperature;
the arrival of the plant hormone gibberellin;
and, for many plants, photoperiod — the relative length of day and night.
