Shaping the future: Unravelling regulators modulating plant architecture for next-generation crops
Plant architecture traits in crops are modulated through intricate interactions of various genetic pathways, which helps them to adapt to diverse environmental conditions. Key developmental pathways involved in forming plant architecture include the LAZY-TAC (Tiller Angle Control) module regulating branch and tiller angle, the CLAVATA-WUSCHEL pathway controlling shoot apical meristem fate and the GID1-DELLA pathway governing plant height and tillering in major food crops. These pathways function in concert to shape the overall architecture of plants, which is essential for optimizing light capture, resource allocation, reproductive success and eventual crop yield enhancement. Presently, plant architecture of modern crops has been shaped especially by artificial selection of natural alleles that target yield traits. Recent advances in CRISPR-Cas-based genome editing and genomics-assisted breeding strategies have enabled precise genetic manipulation of natural alleles in the functionally relevant genes regulating plant architecture traits in crops. This will assist researchers to select and introgress superior natural alleles in popular cultivars strategically for restructuring their desirable plant-types suitable for mechanical harvesting as well as enhancing the crop yield potential.
期刊介绍:
Plant Science will publish in the minimum of time, research manuscripts as well as commissioned reviews and commentaries recommended by its referees in all areas of experimental plant biology with emphasis in the broad areas of genomics, proteomics, biochemistry (including enzymology), physiology, cell biology, development, genetics, functional plant breeding, systems biology and the interaction of plants with the environment.
Manuscripts for full consideration should be written concisely and essentially as a final report. The main criterion for publication is that the manuscript must contain original and significant insights that lead to a better understanding of fundamental plant biology. Papers centering on plant cell culture should be of interest to a wide audience and methods employed result in a substantial improvement over existing established techniques and approaches. Methods papers are welcome only when the technique(s) described is novel or provides a major advancement of established protocols.
