Florigen Activation Complex Dynamics and SVP-Mediated Repression Orchestrate Temperature-Regulated Flowering in Saffron. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Saffron, a high‐value spice cultivated worldwide for its therapeutic and culinary uses, is a sterile triploid species, rendering conventional breeding approaches ineffective. This limitation underscores the need for molecular and biotechnological strategies for its genetic improvement. Flowering, a key determinant of saffron yield, is strongly
