VIGS of MdTFL1 gene in apple seedlings by ALSV vector infection. (A) Precocious flowering of the apple seedling infected with MdTFL-ALSV (63 dpi). (B) Normal flowers in appearance with sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils on the seedling infected with MdTFL-ALSV. (C) The apple seedling infected with MdTFL-ALSV showing repeated flowering (124 dpi). An arrow indicated the first flower 68 dpi and an arrowhead showed a small fruit from the second flower after pollination with pollen from 'Golden Delicious' apple. (D) Flowering of the apple seedling infected with MdTFL-ALSV shown in (c) at the second year (605 dpi). Circled shoot apices changed to flowers.
