  Let the matrix operator $L = D\partial_{xx} + q(x)A_0$, with $D = diag(1,
\nu)$, $\nu \neq 1$, $q \in L^{\infty} (0, $\pi$)$, and $A_0$ is a Jordan block
of order 1. We analyze the boundary null controllability for system $y_t - Ly =
0$. When $ \nu \notin \mathbb{Q} ^*_+ $ and $q(x) = 1$, $x $\in$ (0, $\pi$)$,
there exists a family of root vectors of $(L * , D(L *)) $ forming a Riesz
basis, moreover, F. Ammar Khodja, A.Benabdallah, M.Gonzalez-Burgos, L.Teresa,
show the existence of a minimal time of control depending on condensation of
eigenvalues of $(L^* , D(L^*))$. But there exists $q \in L^{\infty} (0, $\pi$)$
such that the family of eigenfunctions of $(L^* , D(L^*))$ is complete but it
is not a Riesz basis. In this framework new phenomena arise : simultaneous
condensation of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. We prove the existence of a
minimal time $T_0 \in [0, +\infty]$ depending on the condensation of
eigenvalues and associated eigenfunctions of $(L^* , D(L^*))$, such that the
corresponding system is null controllable at any time $T > T_0$ and is not if
$T < T_0$.
