The circadian clock protein CmLHY integrates strigolactone signaling to regulate short-day-induced flowering in chrysanthemum.

Flowering is a key ornamental trait in chrysanthemum and a major agronomic trait affecting rice yield. Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of phytohormones that regulate diverse aspects of plant growth and development, including flowering time. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying SL-mediated regulation of floweri...
