Table 3. Mean number of tillers that had flowered at two stages of development and the number of leaves on flowered tillers for AtLOV1 transgenic plants compared to wild type plants.
| T1 plants | Number of plants | Flowered tillers, ES (%)a | Flowered tillers, LS (%)b | Leaf number of flowered tillers, LS |
| AtLOV1 | 9 | 1.8 (±1.8) ** | 42.7 (±5.1) c | 6.3 (±0.1) ** |
| Wild Type | 9 | 20.3 (±4.0) | 48.6 (±3.6) | 5.7 (±0.1) |
The means were based on two independent segregating T1 progenies from single-insertion transgenic plants.
a
ES: early flowering stage, three months after planting. b LS: late flowering stage, four months after planting. c SE is in parentheses. ** Statistically significant differences (p<0.01) between wild type and transgenic plants.
