Abstract
In geophytes, the process of flowering involves a series of molecular, biochemical and physiological mechanisms for development of reproductive organs. Sensing and integration of external factors like temperature, photoperiod, stress etc. by the plant at optimum time are necessary for floral development. These factors can be tapped to prepare to plant to induce flowering at a desired period of time. This operation has done wonders in terms of producing flowers during off-season, increases the farmer’s income, provide employment through the year, satisfy the consumer need at specific time etc.
