Phenotype
Medium to large size of rosettes with numerous leaves, early leaves have leaf margins irregularly serrated, later leaves have leaf margins almost smooth, late flowering (vernalization at rosette stage may promote earlier flowering), dark-green plants with numerous aerial rosettes, height=56-66 cm. After 6 wk vernalization, Lov-1 flowered earlier than Ull-2-5, suggesting that Lov-1 might be insensitive to short periods of cold but then respond quickly after that. Shindo, et al. (2006). While FLC decreased in Lov-1 plants over a 4-wk cold period, flowering time was not accelerated. FLC levels decreased during cold treatment but then increased significantly after the plants were returned to 23°C. After 6 wk of cold, FLC levels were lower than those observed at 4 wk. After 12 wk vernalization FLC levels increased after 30 d growth post-cold.
