Decapitated pending vines are the most responsive parts of vanilla plants. Inflorescence localization along training vines showed a decreasing gradient from the decapitated end to the base in sun locality and was irregular and showed opposite gradient in shade locality. Soluble and ionic peroxidase activities, determined in the leaves and in the internodes, showed a marked peak during the end of June and a gradient along training vines which was inverse to the gradient of inflorescence localization and opposite between sun or shade conditions, supporting the utility of peroxidases as spatial and temporal biochemical markers of flowering processes.

Keywords: decapitation; inflorescence; ontogeny; shade and sun conditions
