All cultivars were found to have a qualitative response to photoperiod. The results of the analysis show that cultivars previously reported to be "relatively insensitive" to photoperiod were, in fact, highly sensitive. Flowering in short-duration cultivars was delayed by up to a 100 days when daylength in the photoperiod-inductive phase exceeded a critical value. Medium- and long-duration cultivars delayed flowering by over 150 days in response to photoperiod. A model was able to predict this wide range in flowering dates. date: 2001 publication: Field Crops Research volume: 69 number: 2 publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 151-162 refereed: TRUE official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0378-4290(01)00125-3 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Predicting+growth+and+development+of+pigeonpea%3A+flowering+response+to+photoperiod&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&as_sdt=1.&as_sdtp=on&a related_url_type: author citation: Carberry, P S and Ranganathan, R and Reddy, L J and Chauhan, Y S and Robertson, M J (2001) Predicting growth and development of pigeonpea: flowering response to photoperiod.
