The impact of phytohormones on the number and quality of flowers in Crocus sativus
These findings highlight GA as the most effective hormone for increasing flower number and ABA as the optimal choice for enhancing crocin content. This study provides actionable insights for hormone-mediated agronomic strategies to simultaneously improve saffron's ornamental and medicinal value.
