Phenotype

semidominant; plants flower significantly earlier than wt under both continuous light (CL) and short day (SD); after producing 5 to 8 total leaves, the primary shoot meristem of a CL-grown plant is transformed into a compound terminal flower, secondary shoot meristems produced in the axils of cauline and rosette leaves are usually converted into solitary flowers, although partial shoot-to-flower conversions can be seen in some basal positions; under SD conditions plants produce about 18 total leaves before begining to produce flowers, shoot to flower transformations of CL grown plants are largely atenuated by short photoperiods.
