Figure 4: Overexpression of JcTFL1 genes delay flowering in Jatropha.
From: Three TFL1 homologues regulate floral initiation in the biofuel plant Jatropha curcas
Transgenic Jatropha overexpressing JcTFL1a (A), JcTFL1b (B) and JcTFL1c (C) have not flowered yet 3 years after plantation in the field. Wild-type (WT) Jatropha (D) has set fruits about 10 months after plantation in the field; E, F and G correspond to the developmental stages of shoot apical of transgenic Jatropha shown in (A), (B) and (C), respectively. (H) The fruits of WT Jatropha shown in (D). The red circle indicates fruits. Bars represent 20 cm.
