Abstract
Plant height(PH)is one of the most important components of the plant ideotype,and it affects plant biomass,yield,lodging resistance,and the ability to use mechanized harvesting.Since many complex pathways controlling plant growth and development remain poorly understood,we are still unable to obtain the most ideal plants solely through breeding efforts.PH can be influenced by genotype,plant hormonal regulation,environmental conditions,and interactions with other plants.Here,we comprehensively review the factors influencing PH,including the regulation of PH-related developmental processes,the genetics and QTLs contributing to PH,and the hormone-regulated molecular mechanisms for PH.Additionally,the symbiotic influence of grafting on PH is discussed,focusing on the molecular regulation of gene expression and genetics.Finally,we propose strategies for applying recent findings to breeding for better PH,highlight some knowledge gaps,and suggest potential directions for future studies.
