是什么使植物突然从产生叶芽转为开始形成花朵呢？至少有两个很好的理由来探索这个神秘的自然过程。首先，这个问题涉及到形式起源的核心，这是现代生物学中最有趣和最基本的问题之一。第二，如果我们学会了如何控制开花，我们可能会找到根本的和有效的新方法来种植我们想要的作物-简而言之，我们可以彻底改变农业。大量的思想和实验已经投入到试图了解开花过程中，几年前，到那时为止的发现在这本杂志的一篇文章中进行了回顾[见”控制开花，“由奥布里W。Naylor;《美国科学》，1952年5月。从那以后，又有了一些令人兴奋的新发展。
What makes a plant suddenly turn from producing leaf buds and begin to form flowers in stead? There are at least two good rea sons for exploring this mysterious proc ess of nature. Firstly, the question goes to the heart of the origin of form, one of the most interesting and fundamental problems in modern biology. Secondly, if we learned how to control flowering, we could probably find radical and won derful new ways of growing crops to our desires-in short, we could revolutionize agriculture.A great deal of thought and experi ment has been devoted to the attempt to understand the flowering process, and several years ago the findings up to that time were reviewed in an article in this magazine [see" The Control of Flower ing," by Aubrey W. Naylor; SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, May, 1952}. Since then there have been some rather exciting further developments.
