Researchers discover a new plant pigment, 'florigen X,' that they hypothesize is the elusive 'flowering hormone.' Which experiment would provide the STRONGEST evidence for this hypothesis?
Measuring florigen X levels in leaves of plants grown under different light regimes.
Applying purified florigen X to the apical meristem of a non-induced plant and observing flowering.
Demonstrating that florigen X synthesis is regulated by phytochrome.
Grafting a leaf from a photoperiodically induced plant onto a non-induced plant of the same species and observing flowering in the recipient plant.
Which pigment is primarily responsible for absorbing light in the context of photoperiodism?
