Variability of the photoperiod response in guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.) genotypes of different geographic origin by S. B. Teplyakova, V. A. Volkov, E. А. Dzyubenko, E. К. Potokina

“…Thus, sensitivity to photoperiod in guar is only one of several factors that determine the speed  of a plant’s transition  to flowering, and it should not be assessed on the basis of the length  of the period from germination to flowering, which is common in breeding practice. The results of the study show that, although the photoperiod sensitivity of guar limits the range of geographic latitudes in which the legume  crop can be successfully grown, there  is a real opportunity to overcome this limitation  by selecting  and propagating photoperiod-insensitive genotypes from the enormous genetic diversity of this species.…”
