Flower formation

Описание: Perfect, Dr. Javaid! Here’s a *simple flow diagram* showing how a plant decides to flower, optimized for a 2-minute video or a flashcard:

---

*Flow Diagram: How a Plant Decides to Flower*

*Environmental Signals → Hormonal Signals → Gene Activation → Floral Primordium Formation*

---

*Step-by-Step Flow:*

1. *Environmental Signals*

*Day length (photoperiod)*
*Temperature (vernalization)*
*Stress conditions*

⬇️

2. *Hormonal Signals*

*Florigen* (produced in leaves)
*Moves to shoot apical meristem*
*Gibberellins & cytokinins* support flowering

⬇️

3. *Gene Activation at Shoot Tip*

*Floral meristem identity genes* like *LEAFY, APETALA1* turn on
Reprograms shoot apical meristem → *Floral meristem*

⬇️

4. *Floral Primordium Formation*

Cells at shoot tip start differentiating
Male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) reproductive structures begin forming
Flower eventually develops

---

*On-Screen Text Suggestions for Video:*

“Environment → Hormones → Genes → Flower”
Highlight keywords: *Florigen, LEAFY, Floral Meristem, Androecium, Gynoecium*

---

If you want, I can *convert this into a 2-minute video script with hooks, keywords, and on-screen cues* ready for recording on Zoom or mobile.

Do you want me to do that next?
