高等植物成花分子机理的研究进展

Research Progress in the Molecular Mechanisms of Flowering in Higher Plants

植物花的发育是科学家们长期以来所探索的迷题,也是当今发育生物学研究的热点。成花过程是在植物自身遗传因子和环境条件的共同作用下完成的,是一个非常复杂的过程。而成花分子机理的研究则是揭示这一过程的最直接的途径。根据植物对环境条件的反应及自身的生物学特性,可以将植物成花类型分成光周期成花、春化作用成花和基因控制的植物成花三个类型。而有关这三个成花过程分子机理的研究都取得了重大突破。本文就这几个过程的研究进展作一简要综述。

The flowering development of higher plants has been attracted for a long time and is definitely one of a researching hotspot of developmental biology today. It is much more complicated processes which involved by the internal and external factors. The research of molecular mechanisms of flowering would be one of a direct way to find out the process. Three flowering types might be classified based on the responses to environment and their biological characters, which would be assigned as photoperiod flowering, vernalization flowering and gene control flowering. This paper were reviewed the progresses that have been made recently.
