Abstract:
Branching is a critical aspect of plant architecture that significantly impacts the yield and adaptability of staple cereal crops like rice and wheat. Cereal crops develop tillers during the vegetative stage and panicle or spike branches during the reproductive stage, respectively, both of which are significantly impacted by hormones and genetic factors. Tillering and panicle branching are closely interconnected and exhibit high environmental plasticity. Here, we summarize the recent progress in genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors regulation in the branching of rice and wheat. This review not only provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on branching mechanisms in rice and wheat, but also explores the prospects for future research aimed at optimizing crop architecture for enhanced productivity.
