Anthesis in flax
1938
Kadam, B.S. | Patel, S.M.
Under Niphad conditions flax flowers normally commence to open at 7 a.m. and opening is completed by 10 to 10:30 a.m. If the days are cold the process is delayed and may go on up to as late as 2:30 p.m. The minimum temperature of the day influences both time of beginning and full opening of a flower. Flax flowers reopen the next day to a varying extent and the second opening is earlier than the first. Petals may be shed as soon as 2 hours after full opening or may be delayed 30 hours, i.e., until after the second opening. Dehiscence of anthes invariably precedes the full opening of the flowers. There are indications that strain differences may also exist in the period of modal blooming in flax.
