Mutations in <i>CLE16</i>, <i>CLE17</i> or <i>CLE27</i> have no significant effect on the floral transition.

(A) Days to bolting of wild-type and cle mutant plants. (B) Total leaf number of wild-type and cle mutant plants at the transition to flowering. (C) Axillary meristem number in wild-type and cle mutant plants. Values shown in each graph are mean ± standard deviation (S.D.). Asterisks indicate a significant difference from wild-type at * p < 0.05; *** p <0.001 (two-tailed Student’s t test). n = 16–20 individuals per genotype.
