Figure 2. Florigen promotes determinate leaf growth.

Figure 2

(A) Leaf shape along the fruiting branch (SU, sympodial units) of a dCLCrV::FT-infected TX701 plant transitions from highly lobed to lanceolate as the fruiting branch gets older. (B) dCLCrV-infected TX701 plants do not show the same transition. Note the leaf crumpling symptoms of dCLCrV-infected plants (A, B). (C) Changes in TX701 leaf correlate with changes in day length and reproductive vs. vegetative growth; these leaves are from the same plant that transitioned from long-day, to short day and back to long day growth conditions, with ∼10 weeks in each condition.
