If an agronomist is trying to induce flowering in a short-day plant and unknowingly it gets exposed to light for some amount of time. What will be the consequence of this plant?

Step-by-step solution

Short day plants will only flower if they are exposed to a short period of daylight and long periods of darkness. If the dark period is interrupted, the plant will not flower. Hence, short-day plants are also called long night plants, e.g., rice, soyabean, etc.
