Effects of day length and the transfer of plants from a short to a long day on rosette development

Treatments	No. of rosette leaves	Duration of leaf initiation (d)	Total rosette leaf area (mm2)
20 h	8·4 (± 0·5)	6·8	815 (± 165)
Transfer 10 h→20 h	12·8 (± 0·5)	10·9	1388 (± 160)
10 h	21·8 (± 1·2)	16·7	2822 (± 447)

The number of rosette leaves at flowering, the duration of the phase with initiation of leaves and the final total rosette leaf area are given for each treatment. The 95 % interval of confidence is given in parenthesis.
