Phenotype of Arabidopsis ft-10 mutant transformed with cacao TcFT gene. Images of three representative independent lines of experimental and control genotypes (a), from left to right: ft-10 mutant; ft-10, control vector; ft-10, TcFT; ft-10, AtFT; Columbia-0 wildtype at one-month past germination. Rescue of the mutant phenotype was determined by assessing days to bolting (b), number of total leaves (c) and number of secondary inflorescences (d). Significant differences are shown in comparison to the control vector group and based on univariate ANOVA with Tukey’s H-S-D ad hoc analysis at the 0.05 level; ns: not significant, ****: p < 0.0001
