Early flowering of transgenic cacao overexpressing AtFT. a and b Floral buds (red arrows) and open flowers (black arrows) produced at the shoot apex of the shoots of E12-Ω::AtFT transgenic cacao in culture plates. c Close-up of (b) showing 5 total floral buds in a terminal cluster. d Dissected transgenic floral buds demonstrating morphologically complete flower. e ‘Control’ PSU-Sca6 flower from greenhouse grown tree for comparison. S = sepal, A = anther, St = staminode, C = fused carpels. Red scale bars = 5 mm. White scale bars = 1 mm
