Read the following statements:
(i) For photoperiodism, not only the duration of light period but the duration of dark period is alos of equal importance
(ii) Flowering in certain plants depends not only on a combination of light and dark exposers but also their relative durations
(iii) Shoot apices modify themselves into flowering apices prior to flowering but themselves cannot perceive photoperiods
(iv) The site of perception of light/dark duration of flowering are the meristematic points of shoot and root
