Senescence-associated NAC transcription factor OfNAC92 accelerates floral aroma decline by repressing OfCCD1 in harvested Osmanthus fragrans flowers

Key Points

• Floral aroma decline occurs as OfNAC92 represses OfCCD1, impacting harvested flowers.
• The relationship highlights a critical role of the transcription factor in flower aging.
• Analysis focused on harvested Osmanthus fragrans, a key ornamental flower.
• These findings suggest potential interventions to maintain floral aroma in crops.
