triggers for death of annuals
HI all i cant recall my botany lessons and i was wondering what is the
actual mechanism that triggers the death of an annual is day length, temp or production of seed? or a combination of those factors? The reason i am asking is i am looking to start to breed varieties of fruiting plants for example tomato. If i get a particular plant i want to keep as stock i would like to keep the plant alive for example hydroponically with artificial conditions temp light etc until such a point i can develop the seed to see if it hasnt been cross pollinated. So i was wondering if i kept the temp and daylength up and not allow it to set seed could it live until the following season? just a little project i want to work on any comments please? Kind Regards, Gary |

I am not able to answer your question but I think tomatoes like runner beans
are perennials-it's just more convenient to grow them as annuals. Waiting for flak! Regards David T "gary croft" wrote in message ...
