Abstract:Background
Cultivation of Crocus sativus (saffron) face challenges due to inconsistent flowering patterns and variations in yield. Flowering take place in a graded way with smaller corms being unable to produce flowers. Enhancing the productivity requires a comprehensive understanding of the underlying genetic mechanisms that govern this size based flowering initiation and commitment. Therefore, samples enriched with non-flowering and flowering apical buds from small (> 6g) and large (< 15g) corms were … Show more
