Difference between Florigen and Hormones

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. [...]
