n > 15 plants. For ein2-1 measurements, 11 plants were used for rosette and stem length measurements, and 6 plants were used for flowering measurements. Inflorescence stem length was measured at 8 weeks after germination, as plants were senescing and flower production terminated. Because of their delayed flowering, ers1 etr1 mutants were measured at 15 weeks after germination (n = 15 plants). Plants were grown in long days (16 h of light, 8 h of dark). DAG, days after germination; NF, number of plants that never made the transition to flowering/total number of plants analyzed.
