Flowering competence of axillary shoot apices after vernalization in A. alpina depends on developmental stages. (A) Expression levels of AaLFY in the primary and axillary shoot apices undergoing various developmental stages after vernalization (8WV, vernalization-treated plants after 8 weeks growth in long days; VS1 to VS5, axillary branches of S1 to S5 stages from 8WV plants). (B)~(E) Morphologies of shoot apices in different developmental stages. (B,C) VS2 axillary branches show either vegetative (B) or reproductive (C) development. (D) All of VS3 axillary shoot apices and (E) all the primary shoot apices of 8WV plants show inflorescence development.
