Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation All tested Arabidopsis ecotypes developed into etiolated plants and flowered after producing leaves under these conditions.
- Observation Dark-grown Arabidopsis resembled phytochrome-deficient mutants.
- Observation Dark-grown Arabidopsis differed from det and cop mutants.
- Observation Early and late flowering ecotypes flowered with a similar leaf number in darkness.
- Mechanism Sucrose availability on the aerial plant part interacted with darkness to cause rapid flowering of late flowering ecotypes.
- Intervention effect Sucrose also affected Arabidopsis flowering in the light.
- Observation Gibberellin deficient and insensitive mutants were delayed in flower initiation in darkness.
- Intervention effect Dark growth rescued late flowering in mutants of autonomous and long day dependent pathways.
- Intervention effect Sucrose did not rescue late flowering of ft and fwa mutants in darkness or light.
