Research Progress on Molecular Mechanism of Growth and Development and Flowering Quality in Paeonia lactiflora Pall
Herbaceous peony is a renowned floral emblem in China,characterized by their grand blossoms and a diverse array of colors,rendering them highly ornamental.To dissect the molecular mechanisms governing herbaceous peony growth and development and modulating flower quality,this review offers an exhaustive synthesis of the literature on the molecular underpinnings pertinent to diverse facets of herbaceous peony biology,floral development,flower color,stems strength,dormancy,water balance,metabolic and senescence.The extant research landscape and its inherent constraints regarding the regulatory mechanisms of herbaceous peony flowering and post-harvest longevity have been delineated,furnishing a foundational framework for future cultivation and breeding of herbaceous peonies,as well as for the advancement of preservation strategies for cut blooms.
