Abstract: Exposure of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) seedlings to low ambient air temperatures during the 3 weeks prior to transplanting resulted in premature flowering. The percent premature flowering observed varied with the location of the experiment, the year, and the total degree units of temperature below 20 °C. A positive relationship between accumulated hourly temperatures below 20 °C and percent premature flowering was observed over four years at two locations.Key words: low temperature, premature flowering
