The style curvature (flexistyly) of Alpinia species in ginger family is a unique plant organ movement because the style of each flower curves twice during its 1-day anthesis and styles of two phenotypes of each Alpinia species in the same population synchronously curve in opposite directions at the same time. In this study, we investigated the effects of low temperature and light conditions on these reciprocal style movements. Our results indicate that low temperature cannot change the direction of each curvature movement, but can slow down these movements and decrease the curve degrees. Light did not affect the upward curvature of the cataflexistylous morph, but the degrees of downward curvature decreased in darkness. For the anaflexistylous morph, the downward curvature only occurred in darkness, but curved directly upward in light condition; after the first (downward) curvature, the second (upward) movement only occurred in light, but did not occur if styles maintained in darkness. These results suggest that low temperature does not stimulate style curvature; light is the necessary condition for the upward movement of the anaflexistylous morph. The stimuli that induced curvature movements in the two morphs were different. Both two curvatures of the cataflexistylous style and downward movement of the anaflexistylous style were controlled via an endogenous program, while the upward movement of the anaflexistylous style was controlled by light.
