Days till Plants have One Open Flower; R1
The number of days plants take to produce the first open flower at any node from seeding. In lentil, flowering occurs from axillary buds on the main stem and branches; proceeding acropetally from lower to higher nodes (Erskine, Muehlbauer, & Short, 1990). Flowers emerge at the base of upper leaves on short flower stalks, with two to three flowers clustering together on each stalk (Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, 2015). There might be a positive correlation between early flowering and early ripeness (Tullu, Kusmenoglu, McPhee, & Muehlbauer, 2001).
