Low light reduces saffron corm yield by inhibiting starch synthesis

Low light reduces saffron corm yield by inhibiting starch synthesis

The mechanisms by which low light modulates source-sink dynamics, affecting starch synthesis and formation of underground storage organs in geophyte, remain unclear. In this study, a two-year field experiment was conducted under natural light (NL) and low light (LL, 50% of NL intensity) conditions....
