Flowering and the function of membranes

The transition from the vegetative to the floral stage, particularly in photoperiodic plants, can be divided into two sets of separate events: flower induction in leaves which initiates different kinds of stimuli circulating and transmitted via petioles and the stem to the apical meristematic system. At the apex through the action of signals the initial switch of evocation will be activated and then floral morphogenesis follows.
With the "plant physiomatics" a technic is presented showing the way to prospect a system of communication and cooperativity between tissues and organs in developmental transition. Numerous modifications of properties, especially at the membrane level, that accompany the flowering process are presented, as the possibility of frequency decoding and stimulus recognition by the plant.
