Research Progress on Molecular Mechanisms of Heat Stress Affecting the Growth and Development of Maize
Plants encounter various abiotic stresses throughout their lifecycle,including heat,drought,and salt stress,all of which have diverse impacts on their growth and development.Global warming has exacerbated the impact of heat stress on crops such as maize,potentially leading to growth retardation and reduced reproductive capacity.As an im-portant staple crop,the yield and quality of maize are severely compromised by heat stress.Plants respond to heat stress through complex molecular mechanisms involving multiple signal transduction pathways and the regulation of gene ex-pression.It is crucial to use advanced techniques such as genetics,genomics,multi-omics analysis,and high-throughput phenotyping to extensively explore and analyze the genes and loci associated to abiotic stress tolerance,including heat stress,in the maize genome.These studies not only deepen our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying maize stress tolerance but also provide valuable molecular markers and candidate gene resources for breeders to ac-celerate the development of new maize varieties.
