Abstract:
... The demand for saffron is expected to rise in the coming years due to its nutraceutical and medicinal properties. To cope with this, it will be necessary to develop a mechanised production of saffron. Upgrading the production methods requires accurate control of the flowering time in this species. Nevertheless, little is known about the control of flowering time in Crocus sativus L. The aim of thi ...

Abstract:
... Considering the prevalence of cold and dry winter in many saffron cultivation regions, the freezing-induced damage is one of the most adverse factors increasing electrolyte leakage and reducing corm growth. These effects justify the necessity of studying agronomic strategies to promote plant tolerance to freezing stress. Herein the effects of planting depth, freezing injury and mother corm origin ...

Abstract:
... Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) two-segment (TS) cropping system, with mother corms flowering in a controlled environment first and then growing daughter corms in the field, can greatly increase stigma yield and quality, but may decrease daughter corm yield (mainly due to depletion of nutrient reserves in mother corms). Light plays crucial roles in regulation of nutrient reserve metabolism in tubers, ...

Abstract:
... Crocus sativus is a triploid sterile plant and autumnal flowering geophyte with corms. As a subterranean organ, the corm is susceptible to diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes and viruses. Fusarium corm rot incited by F. oxysporum is the most destructive disease in saffron, having caused severe yield losses in saffron producer's countries. Infected plants die off early, resulting in reduc ...
