The floral organs of Ranunculales show complex and diverse characteristics,which are ideal plant group to study the related problems of morphology and genetic evolution of floral organs.This paper reviewed the floral organ morphological diversity of Ranunculales.Combining the genome and transcriptome of Ranunculales as well as the flower development researches of representative species including Thalictrum thalictroides,Aquilegia coulela,Nigella damascena and Eschscholzia californica,the current research results on the function of MADS-box gene family A,B,C,D,E genes and their downstream target genes were elaborated.Besides,the breakthrough points and possible challenges of flower development research in Ranunculales in the future were forecasted.The aim is to enrich the understanding on the molecular pathways of floral organ development in basal eudicots.
