The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Florigen and Hormones.
Difference # Florigen:
1. It is a hypothetical hormone which has not yet been extracted.
2. It is produced in response to specific photo-periodicity typical of a plant type.
3. Florigen is the same though different groups of plants require different photo-periodicities.
4. It induces only flowering. Growth is neither inhibited nor stimulated.
5. It is produced by the joint activity of leaves and growing points.
6. Florigen is produced only when the plants have completed juvenile stage.
Difference # Hormones:
1. The hormones are known chemicals.
2. No hormone is known which is induced in response to photoperiods or skotoperiods.
3. Such a varied parameter is not applicable to any of the hormones.
4. Other hormones may or may not induce flowering in some of the plants.
5. They are not synthesized by joint activity of two organs.
6. They are produced even in juvenile stage.
