The two independent S- > C ‘clv’ lines produce additional anthers and petals per flower. All ‘clv’ groups produced aberrant numbers compared to Ler Wt, the C only lines, or the S- > C ‘Wt’ groups. A Both S- > C 9–3 ‘clv’ and S- > C 10–5 ‘clv’ lines produced a similar number of anthers per flower compared to clv3–2. B However, clv3–2 produced more petals per flower than either line. Letters denote statistically similar (p > 0.05) groups. For anther counts p values were determined ANOVA with post hoc Tukey’s HSD test. For petal counts, due to the zero variance in Ler Wt, p values were determined by a Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test followed by pairwise Wilcox tests. Error bars indicate +/− standard error. For each group, floral organ counts were conducted on 6 or more individuals
