The CsFT-FD complex controls flowering by regulating <i>CsAP1</i> and <i>CsLFY</i> in saffron
overexpression additionally alters floral organ architecture, indicating its dual role in promoting flowering and regulating floral organ formation. Together, these findings underscore the essential role of the CsFT3-like-FD-AP1/LFY regulatory module in saffron and offer novel insights into flowering regulation in non-model monocot plants.
