Molecular Characterization and Expression Patterns of the <i>HkSVP</i> Gene Reveal Distinct Roles in Inflorescence Structure and Floral Organ Development in <i>Hemerocallis fulva</i>

<i>SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE</i> (<i>SVP</i>) genes are members of the well-known MADS-box gene family that play a key role in regulating vital developmental processes in plants. <i>Hemerocallis</i> are perennial herbs that exhibit continuous flowering development an...
