An auxin-induced transcriptional cascade CmBES1–CmSAUR66 orchestrates the ray floret development in <i>Chrysanthemum morifolium</i>
plants significantly rescued the fusion phenotype. Our study thus unveils the CmBES1-CmSAUR66 regulatory module as a central component of auxin-mediated sympetalous development, providing insights into the hormonal control of floral morphological evolution.
