可变剪接调控植物开花的作用机制进展

Mechanisms of alternative splicing in regulating plant flowering: a review

摘要:

开花是植物生长发育的关键转折，与种子生产和作物产量密切相关。开花转变受到复杂的基因网络调控，许多开花相关基因通过可变剪接产生多种转录本，调控开花时间。文中从多个角度系统地综述了可变剪接调控植物开花的分子机制，并对将来的研究进行了展望。

Abstract:

Flowering is a critical transitional stage during plant growth and development, and is closely related to seed production and crop yield. The flowering transition is regulated by complex genetic networks, whereas many flowering-related genes generate multiple transcripts through alternative splicing to regulate flowering time. This paper summarizes the molecular mechanisms of alternative splicing in regulating plant flowering from several perspectives, future research directions are also envisioned.
