FLINC plays a role in temperature-mediated flowering. a. Flowering time measured as rosette leaf number (RLN) for FLINC wild-type and mutant plants growing at 16 °C and 25 °C in long day conditions. The experiment was performed using four biological replicates with 13 plants per replicate for each genotype/condition. b. Flowering time measured as days after sowing (DAS) for FLINC wild-type (WT) and mutant plants growing at 16 °C and 25 °C in long day conditions. The experiment was performed using four biological replicates with 13 plants per replicate for each genotype/condition. c. Eight weeks-old FLINC WT and mutant plants grown at 16 °C and 25 °C in long day conditions. d. Flowering time in RLN for four independent T2 lines overexpressing FLINC (FLINC-OE) at 16 °C (blue) or 25 °C (red) in long day conditions. Box-plot showing the distribution of ca. 40 plants per replicate for each genotype/condition. FLINC-OE plants are more sensitive to temperature than the WT as shown by the higher RLN ratio. *** indicates significant differences at p-value < 0.0001, ** indicates significant differences at p-value < 0.001, and * indicates significant differences at p-value < 0.05 according to the Student t-test
