2025年中国植物科学家在Nature、Science和Cell三种国际综合性学术期刊发表论文数量呈现“井喷式”增长(与2024年相比增加1倍), 在植物科学主流期刊发表的论文数量相比2024年继续稳步提升, 在植物激素与次生代谢、植物生化分析与生物信息学、光合作用与光信号、耐逆性机制及植物系统进化等领域取得了重要研究进展。其中“表观遗传变异驱动植物逆境适应”和“AI驱动蛋白质工程实现染色体精准操纵技术突破”入选2025年中国生命科学十大进展。该文总结了2025年我国植物科学研究取得的成果, 简要介绍了160项具有代表性的重要进展, 以帮助读者了解我国植物科学的整体发展态势及其在国际植物科学中的地位, 进而思考如何开展下阶段研究工作, 服务国家战略需求。

In 2025, Chinese plant scientists achieved an explosive growth (a twofold increase) in the number of papers published in the three international comprehensive academic journals (Nature, Science, and Cell) compared to 2024. The number of papers published in mainstream plant science journals also continued to steadily increase relative to 2024. Significant research progress was made in fields such as plant hormones and secondary metabolism, plant biochemical analysis and bioinformatics, photosynthesis and light signaling, stress tolerance mechanisms, and plant systematics and evolution. Among them, “Epigenetic variation drives plant stress adaptation” and “AI-driven protein engineering enables breakthrough in precise chromosome manipulation” were selected as two of the “Top Ten Advances in Life Sciences in China” in 2025. Here we summarize the achievements of plant science research in China in 2025, and briefly introduces 160 representative important research advances, aiming to help readers understand the overall development trend of plant science in China and its position in international plant science, and to evaluate future research direction to meet major national strategic needs.
