Influence of photoperiod on vegetation phases and tuber development in topinambour (Helianthus tuberosus L.)
A topinambour collection was analyzed to determine the genetic variability of 141 accessions in reaction to the length of day (light), its influence on vegetative and flowering phases, tuber number and mass. Day length significantly influenced flowering, which started with the first shorter days...
