Rapid alkalinization factor: function, regulation, and potential applications in agriculture

Abstract Rapid alkalinization factor (RALF) is widespread throughout the plant kingdom and controls many aspects of life. Current studies on regulatory mechanism underlying RALF function mainly focus Arabidopsis, but little known about role in crop plants. Here, we systematically comprehensively analyzed relation between family genes from five important crops those model Arabidopsis thaliana . Simultaneously, summarized functions RALFs controlling growth developmental behavior using conservative motifs as cues predicted cereal crops. In conclusion, has considerable application potential improving yields increasing economic benefits. Using gene editing technology or taking advantage a hormone additive are effective way to amplify
