Abstract excerpt
A new mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana that initiates flowering early and terminates the inflorescence with floral structures has been identified and named terminal flower2 (tfl2). While these phenotypes are similar to that of the terminal flower1 (tfl1) mutant, tfl2 mutant plants are also dwarfed in appearance, have reduced photoperiod sensitivity and have a more variable terminal flower structure. Under long-day...
