AtRaptor1B -/- plants grow slowly. (A), (B) Col and B- plants at 15 days after germination on soil. (C) B- plants bolt later than Col or A-. Shown are shoots from plants 1 month after germination. (D) Growth curve of Col, A- and B- plants. The X-axis represents time after production of the first leaf. The Y-axis represents the number of rosette leaves up to 11; presence of a floral bud is 12; number of cauline leaves plus 12 is 13–16, and values above 16 are the number of shoot apices harboring flowers plus 15. B- plants show slower leaf initiation, later bolting (though at a similar rosette leaf number as Col and A-) and later flowering.
