RHYTHM FLIPS. “In light/dark (LD) cycles of 6 h or 9 h, flower opening followed the imposed cycle (i.e. they were 6 h open and 6 h closed, etc). Interestingly, if the light and dark periods were made as short as 2 h, the flowers again showed a 24 h rhythm. Within limits, therefore, the endogenous rhythm can become entrained by shorter light/dark cycling. Entrainment is defined as the process whereby the plant, exposed to repeated periods of light and darkness with a period P, changes its rhythm to the same period.”
