Four Examples from the Crassulaceae in Which Flowering Is Induced in a Noninduced Scion by Transmission of Florigen from a Florally Induced Stock. In each case, the stock (below the graft union) is the donor, and the scion (above the graft union) is the receptor. Arrows point toward the graft unions. In each case, the appropriate photoperiodic conditions were used to induce flowering of the donor plant, whereas the receptor was in a noninductive photoperiod. None of the control grafts with noninduced donors caused flowering in the receptors (data not shown). (A) The SDP Kalanchoë blossfeldiana as donor for the LDP Sedum spectabile as receptor (Zeevaart, 1958). (B) The LDP S. spectabile as donor for the SLDP Echeveria harmsii (my unpublished data). (C) The LSDP Bryophyllum crenatum as donor for the LDP S. spectabile (my unpublished data). (D) The LSDP B. daigremontianum as donor for the SLDP E. harmsii (Zeevaart, 1982).
