Research Progress in the Development and Regulatory Mechanisms of Plant Tendrils

doi:10.11983/CBB25064

Abstract

Abstract: Tendrils are specialized climbing organs that play a key role in the survival and environmental adaptation of plants. Through structural support, light capture, and resources competition, tendrils significantly improve the ecological adaptability of plants. Tendrils are derived from inflorescences, leaves, stems and other organs. The occurrence of tendrils is regulated by gene families such as TCP, HD-ZIP, and MADS-box families, and is influenced by auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, jasmonic acid and other plant hormones. Tendrils exhibit convergent evolution in function, morphology, and molecular mechanisms, and display characteristics of independent evolution, reflecting the adaptive strategies of plants to their living environment. This review systematically synthesizes the biological characteristics and molecular mechanisms of development in plant tendrils. Future studies will focus on evolutionary mechanisms across species and interactions between environmental signals and plant hormones for plant tendrils.

Key words: plant tendrils, ecological adaptability, plant hormones, molecular mechanisms, functional genes
