Effect of sequential (a, b) and combined (c, d) treatment with short photoperiod and temperature on the expression of selected (a, c) flowering time genes, FT1, AP1, AGL14 and LFY, and (b, d) branching inhibitory genes, BRC1 and MAX1. a, b Expression in terminal buds (TB), and in young axillary buds (AXB) after zero, three and six weeks chilling (5 °C). Plants at point zero (no chilling) were dormant after six weeks of short photoperiod. c, d Expression in young axillary buds after a 6-week period at the indicated temperatures (day/night): moderate (18/18 °C), moderate/low (18/12 °C) and low (12/12 °C). (values are means ± SE, n = 6 per data point)
