Higher ambient temperature is not sufficient to induce flowering in Brachypodium distachyon . (a) Plants were grown in one of three photoperiod conditions: SD (14 h light/10 h dark), LD (20 h/4 h) or in LD after shifting from SD. In each condition, plants were grown at either 22°C (grey) or 27°C (black). DNF (did not flower) indicates the non-flowering phenotype of plants grown in SD for 150 days. Values are the mean ± standard error of ten plants. (***P < 0.001). (b) SD grown plants after 50 days at constant temperature of 22°C and 27°C.
