Advances in the Molecular Mechanism Underlying Phytohormones Function in Regulating Rice Flower Development
Different to that of eudicot model plant, rice lfower organs display distinct morphology such as lem-ma, palea and lodicules, which not only provide basis for reproductive development and generation propaga-tion, but also is determinant to rice yield. Therefore, it’s important to uncovering the molecular mechanism un-derlying rice flower development. In this review, we introduced the advances in the molecular mechanism underlying phytohormones function in regulating rice lfower development, including auxin, cytokinin, gibberel-lin and jasmonate. The prospects and potential application of these hormones in farming were also discussed.
