Species-wide gene editing of a flowering regulator reveals hidden phenotypic variation

Growth trajectories of flc mutants.
(A) Projected rosette area (PRA) of 61 wild types and 112 mutants per day (x-axis). PRA of the 8376 wild type could not be determined. Differences between mutants and wild types on each day were not significant (n.s.) (Mann–Whitney U rank test, Bonferroni correction, p.adj. > 0.05). (B) Clustering by PRA (log2) of 110 mutants versus wild types. The number of days with significantly different projected rosette area measurements (Mann–Whitney-U-test, Benjamini–Hochberg correction, p.adj. > 0.05) is indicated. A schematic representation shows the cluster size differences. (C) Cluster mean values of the ratio on each day (dots) and over all days (horizontal lines, log2). The values between 25th and 75th percentiles are shown as ribbons. (D) FLC levels (log10) and flowering time of mutants in cluster 1–3.
