Analysis of variance for a1, b1, a2, b2, hinge 1, a22, b22, a3, b3, and hinge 2 of the eight chickpea accessions used in the photoperiod-sensitive and -insensitive phase determination using reciprocal transfers between SD (10 h light) and LD (16 h light) photoperiod conditions over two time replicates.

a1, a2, a22, and a3 correspond to y-intercepts in relation to change in number of days to flowering under the respective photoperiods; b1, b2, b22, and b3, stand for slope coefficients in relation to the changes in time from seeding to first flowering against time from seeding to first transfer. *** and ** indicates significant difference at P ≤ 0.01 and 0.001, respectively and ns = not significant.
