Flowering time is expressed as the mean of rosette and cauline leaves produced in long- and short-day conditions. Errors are represented as the standard deviation. Superscript letters indicate a significant difference (P <0.05) from (a) Col, (b) ful-2, (c) svp-32, (d) 35S::FUL, and (e) 35S::SVP controls, respectively, according to Student’s t-test; nd=not determined.
