Photons from NIR LEDs can delay flowering in short-day soybean and Cannabis: Implications for phytochrome activity.

Photons during the dark period delay flowering in short-day plants (SDP). Red photons applied at night convert phytochromes to the active far-red absorbing form (Pfr), leading to inhibition of flowering. Far-red photons (greater than 700 nm) re-induce flowering when applied after a pulse of red phot...
