Would you expect soyabean plants to flower, if given a daily exposure of 15 hours ? Give reasons

Solution
Soyabean plants are short day plants which initiate flowering when the day length becomes shorter than a critical length. They remain vegetative if day length is in excess of the critical duration of light. Therefore, soyabean plants will not flower if given a daily exposure of 15 hours.
