Abstract
Climate-change-induced extreme heat and drought increasingly threaten plant growth and development, with a particularly significant impact on sexual reproduction. Heat and drought stress can disrupt key stages of plant sexual reproduction, including flowering time, gametophyte development, pollination, and seed formation, leading to infertility and substantial yield reductions in crops. This review systematically summarizes the latest research on the effects of heat and drought stress on various stages of plant sexual reproduction and proposes specific strategies to mitigate the agricultural hazards posed by these stresses. By providing an in-depth analysis of the underlying mechanisms and regulatory networks, this review offers a theoretical basis for advancing fundamental research and optimizing agricultural practices to address the severe challenges climate change presents to agriculture.
期刊介绍：
Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted.
The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership.
The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
