Flowering time of A. formosa in different light regimes and meristematic development during vernalization. (A) Flowering time of A. formosa plants grown under three different light/temperature regimes: constant SD with eight weeks of 4°C, LD with eight weeks of 4°C SD, or LD with eight weeks of 20°C SD. Day 1 is the first day that vernalized plants were removed from vernalization and LD non-vernalized plants were moved back into LD. Time to flowering was measured as the number of days following removal from vernalization when an inflorescence was visible above the leaf crown. The x-axis after 85 days when the experiment was ended. (B) A. formosa meristem development through vernalization. The SAM just prior to vernalization (Pre), two weeks into vernalization (two weeks), six weeks (six weeks) into vernalization, eight weeks into vernalization (eight weeks), and one week following vernalization (one week post).
