Safflower CtFT genes orchestrating flowering time and flavonoid biosynthesis
These findings showed that overexpression of CtFT genes could affect the flowering time and significantly increase the flavonoid content of safflower. The function of CtFT gene is different in safflower and Arabidopsis. This study provides valuable insights into the role of CtFT genes in flower formation and flavonoid synthesis in safflower, which may help in improving safflower breeding quality and its adaptability to diverse environmental conditions.
