Clonal material of one genotype of Stellaria longipes Goldie s.l. was used to study the effects of photoperiod and temperature on stem elongation. Temperature is the more important influence for induction of stem elongation. Photoperiod exerts a lesser effect. A combined synergistic effect of temper...
