Phenotypes of select F₇ and F₈ allohexaploids. (A) Flowering times varied between F₇ siblings of the same line by up to 4 weeks. Note overall growth habit, light green foliage in individual 5-1-1-5, and variation in leaf morphology. For comparison with the most common leaf phenotype, an individual from line 14 is shown. (B) Variation in leaf serration between siblings of line 5 and an individual of line 14. (C–H) Developmental changes in three individuals between early rosette stage (∼3 weeks old) and onset of flowering (C/F; D/G; E/H). Note the slender leaves in D and E compared to the more common leaf shape in C. All plants were grown in the same conditions, were of the same age, and were photographed at the same times. Bars, 2 cm.
