  1. Pairwise comparisons of days from transplanting to flowering or harvest were performed by using the log-rank test.
  2. Lines with the same letter are not significantly different in time from transplanting to flowering at a 5% significance level with Bonferroni correction.
  3. Available flowering dates of each line were summarized in means ± standard errors of means; d, days.
