Visual lesson 06
Photoperiod sensing & floral transition
Separate photoperiod sensing and meristem reorganization from the later appearance of dense flowers by following adult shoot-apex branching, internode shortening, floral development, and genotype-dependent timing.
Primary visual specification
Photoperiod signal to inflorescence architecture timeline
Create an academically accurate photoperiod signal to inflorescence architecture timeline for the Photoperiod sensing & floral transition lesson. Use neutral studio lighting or clean academic illustration conventions, realistic botanical proportions, readable labels where needed, no yellow cast, and no decorative elements that compete with the teaching objective.
