Question

What is bolting how can it be induced artificially?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bolting is induced by plant hormones of the gibberellin family,[citation needed] and can occur as a result of several factors, including changes in day length, the prevalence of high temperatures at particular stages in a plant's growth cycle, and the existence of stresses such as insufficient water or minerals

Answer 2

Changes in the length of the day and stressors such as not getting enough water or minerals can cause bolting. And yes, low temperatures at certain growing stages can trigger a plant to bolt. Plants that are stressed may respond to that stress by bolting so that they can produce seeds before they die.
