 Angiosperms are seed-bearing vascular
plants. Their reproductive structures are
flowers in which the ovules are enclosed in
an ovary. Angiosperms are found in almost
every habitat from forests and grasslands
to sea margins and
deserts. Angiosperms display a huge
variety of life forms including trees, herbs,
submerged aquatics, bulbs and epiphytes.
The largest plant families are Orchids, and
Compositae (daisies) and Legumes (beans)

In 2009, three IRRI-bred superior rice lines,
IRRI150 (IR77495-10-2-6-2), IRRI151
(IR78566-1-2-1), and IRRI154 (IR78581-12-

Philippine National Rice Technical Working
Group to the National Seed Industry
Council (NSIC) for release as commercial
national rice varieties, namely, NSIC Rc212

USM develops new corn varieties
USM Var 9 was first coded as USMARC 99149
(with grain yield 6.10 t/ha) and was submitted to
the National Cooperative Testing (NCT). At NCT,
the variety yielded 5.63 t/ha, which was 1.8%
higher than the national check USM Var 5 (5.53%
t/ha). It yielded more than the check by 5.60% in
Visayas and 5.50% in Mindanao and this made the
variety qualify for regional commercial release. The
NSIC later approved USMARC 99149 as a
commercial variety for Visayas and Mindanao in
2001.
USM develops new corn varieties
USM Var 14 with grain yield 6.20 t/ha, was first
coded as USMARC 9902 upon submission to
NCT. This variety yielded 4.78 t/ha in NCT,
which was 1.05% better than the check USM
Var 10/USM Var 8. It also yielded more than
USM Var 10 and USM Var 8 by 4.42% in Luzon
and by 6.59% in Mindanao. The results made
USMARC 9902 for regional release in Luzon
and Mindanao and was named USM Var 14
after NSIC approval.
New corn varieties for commercial release
The National Seed Industry Council (NSIC) approved the release of
promising selections as new commercial corn varieties. Private breeding

Classified by their developmental origin.
Simple fruits are derived from a single
ovary.
These may be fleshy, such as a cherry, or
dry, such as a soybean pod.
An aggregate fruit, is derived from the
many ovaries of a single flower. These matured
ovaries or fruits are all attached to a common
receptacle.
A multiple fruit, such as a pineapple,
develops from an inflorescence, a tightly
clustered group of flowers.

Q37. Long day plants
require about ___
for the formation of
inflorescence.
a. 8
b. 10
c. 11
d. 14 or more
***Light Duration
 length of exposure of the plant to light
everyday
 short-day plants e.g. tobacco
 long-day plants e. g. potato
 day-neutral plants e.g. corn
Photoperiodism – response to varying
length of light and dark
shorter days (longer nights)
fail leaf color
flower initiation in strawberry, poinsettia,
chrysanthemum
tubers/tuberous roots begin to form
longer days (shorter nights)
bulbs of onion begin to form
flower initiation in spinach, sugar beets
 Q38. Short day plants are plants that
bear flowers during time of longer
night than daytime. Example of this
plant is

 A. poinsettia
 B. corn
 C. banana
 D. rice
 ◦Photoperiodic response

Long day plants – Plant requires long

day about 14 hours or more to bear
flowers.
Short day plants – Plant requires short
day period less than 14 hours to
initiate flowering.
Day-neutral plants – Plant that will
flower regardless of the length of
photoperiod.
Q37. Long day plants

for the formation of
inflorescence.
a. 8
b. 10
c. 11
d. 14 or more
The poinsettia is a short-
day plant, requiring two
months of long nights
prior to blooming.
