is due to the lack of available information. During its development, the flowering process
includes several stages and all stages must be passed with a good harvest in order to produce
high. The stages of flowering include :
1. Induksi interest (evocation)
The first stage of flowering, which is a stage when the vegetative programmed to
begin to transform into reproductive meristems. Occurs in the cell. Increase in the
synthesis of nucleic, can be detected chemically acids and proteins, which are needed
in cell division and differentiation.
2. Flower initiation
It is the stage when morphological change into reproductive buds begin to form
macroscopic detected for the first time. The transition from vegetative buds into the
reproductive buds be detected from changes in the shape and size of the buds, as well
as subsequent processes that begin to form reproductive organs. Turned out to have a
period of perennials and flowering initiation are very diverse. In general, the period
between the initiation and flowering related to the growth of which is also influenced
by climate. Most tropical and subtropical plants have flower initiation and anthesis
period is very short.
3. The development towards anthesis flower buds (flower blossom)
Characterized by the differentiation of flower parts. At this stage there is a process
between mikrosporogenesis and megasporogenesis for refinement and maturation of
the reproductive organs of male and female.
4. Anthesis
It is the stage when the expansion of interest. Usually anthesis coincided with the
maturation of the reproductive organs males and females, although in reality it is not
always the case. There are times when the reproductive organs, both male and female,
cook before the anthesis, or even long after the anthesis. The flowers reach maturity
dichogamy type of male and female reproductive organs in the same time it does not.
5. Pollination and fertilization
This stage gives the result of the formation of young fruit. Details of the process of
pollination and fertilization are described in a separate chapter.
6. Young fruit development towards maturity of fruit and seeds
This stage begins with the enlargement of the ovaries (ovarian), which is followed by
the development of food reserves (endosperm), and subsequent embryo development
occurred. Enlargement of the fruit is the effect of the division and cell enlargement,
which includes three stages :
a. The first stage
: An increase in thickening of the presence of the pericarp by
cell division.
b. The second stage : The formation and enlargement of the vesicle aqueous (juice
vesicles), usually occurs in fleshy fruits.
c. The third stage
: Maturation phase, usually occurring tissue shrinkage and
hardening of endocarp in dried fruits.
