DAYS TO FLOWERING AND FLOWERING PERIOD
The mean days to flowering was 168.62 ± 0.50 days for all individuals of
the 57 western Kyushu populations.
The mean days to flowering in each region were 165.12 ± 0.87 days in the
Tsushima populations, 166.78 ± 0.76 days in the Nagasaki mainland
populations, 171.73 ± 0.87 days in the Goto Islands populations, and
180.28 ± 1.75 days in the Koshikijima Islands populations.
The shortest population (C 36: population number [8,9]) of days to
flowering indicated 152.00 ± 4.00 days and the longest population (C 7)
indicated 193.83 ± 6.70 days.
Both of these populations were the Tsushima populations, but the mean
value in all Tsushima populations was 165.12 days, suggesting that the
C7 population represents an outlier among the Tsushima populations
studied.
The mean flowering period of all individuals of 57 populations in
western Kyushu indicated 82.5 ± 2.7 days.
The mean flowering period in each region were 77.19 ± 2.32 days in the
Tsushima populations, 88.87 ± 2.65 days in the Nagasaki mainland
populations, 83.50 ± 3.48 days in the Goto Islands populations, and
76.23 ± 4.67 days in the Koshikijima Islands populations.
