Managing flowering time in Miscanthus and sugarcane to facilitate intra- and intergeneric crosses
Fig 2
Relationships between absolute value of latitude at collection site (x-axis) and date of first flowering (y-axis) for Miscanthus sacchariflorus (circles) and M. sinsensis and M. floridulus (diamonds) genotypes when grown in a greenhouse at Urbana, IL that provided decreasing day length of 1 min d-1 via supplemental light from high intensity discharge (HID) lamps starting when natural day length reached 12.5 h (14 September).
Experiments were conducted in three consecutive years: 2014–2015 (green), 2015–2016 (purple), and 2016–2017 (yellow).
