The WF1 (White Flower 1) gene controlling the white color of petals and flowering time in lines from a mapping population of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) by N. B. Brutch, I. I. Matvienko, E. A. Porokhovinova, A. V. Pavlov

“…The analysis of segregation in F2 held under  the long (19 hours) and short (12 hours, daylength at the equator) day conditions showed that  the number of leaves on the plant stem was associated with the flowering time and controlled by close genetic systems only under the long-day conditions. In addition, no relationship between the flowering time and petal color was found under  the short-day  conditions. …”
