Phenotypic variation in plants subjected to 5-azaC treatments grown under greenhouse conditions. a An example of six individual plants varying in plant growth and development parameters under 50 mM 5-azaC treatment, right bottom plant ERFv 153 showed early flowering (see arrow); b Variegated chlorophyll pigmentation was observed in the progeny of one late flowering line ERFv 134 (see arrow); c The comparison of flowering time between wild type (right) and 5-azaC treatment line (left); d The comparison of plant rosette diameter and stature between wild type (right) and 5-azaC treatment line (left)
