Herbaceous peony(Paeonia lactiflora)is a traditional famous flower in China,which possesses high ornamental value and plays a particular role in northern gardens because of its large and colorful flowers.At the same time,herbaceous peony has a high economic value as cut-flowers,is also one of the most popular trade products in the flower market at domestic and overseas.In recent years,the extreme high temperature weather caused by global warming has seriously restricted the development of herbaceous peony industry.It is urgent to study the mechanism of response to heat stress in order to accelerate the breeding of heat-resistant herbaceous peony to meet the needs of the market.Therefore,this study systematically stated the effects of high temperature stress on the morphological,physiological and biochemical characteristics of herbaceous peony,and reviewed the relevant studies on the molecular mechanism of response to heat stress,heat resistance evaluation and breeding of herbaceous peony,which provide references for understanding the heat resistance mechanism of herbaceous peony and accelerating breeding of heat-resistant cultivars.
