Effect of warming temperature on the floral development in broccoli (cv. Green Harmony F1). A Schematic diagram of floral development cessation caused by warming temperature in the broccoli cultivar. At 28 °C the floral development is ceased at the IM stage (forming cauliflower-like curd), at 22 °C the floral development is ceased at the FP stage (forming intermediate curd), while at 16 °C the flower develops into FB, forming normal broccoli head. Appearance (B-E) and scanning electron micrographs (F-I) of the apical meristems are shown. B, F shoot apical meristem at the transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth (VR); (C, G) floral development ceased at the inflorescence meristem (IM) stage (cauliflower-like curd) at 28 °C; (D, H) floral development ceased at floral primordium (FP) stage (intermediate curd) at 22 °C; (E, I) floral development at floral bud (FB) stage (normal broccoli head) at 16 °C
