摘要:

番茄作为一种全球性蔬菜,因其丰富的营养价值和多样的食用方式,在农业生产与食品加工产业中占据着举足轻重的地位。果实形态发育是影响番茄产量和品质的关键因素,其主要包括果实大小和形状的发育过程。这一过程受基因和植物激素等因素的精细调控。然而,目前关于果实形态发育的相关基因数量较少,且调控机制尚不明确。尽管现有研究多集中于相关基因的挖掘,但对于基因调控机制方面的探究相对较少。本文综述了通过正向遗传学获得的果实形态发育相关基因,分析这些基因的变异及其相关调控机制。并介绍了植物激素在果实形态发育上的应用,探讨了植物激素调控番茄果实形态发育的作用机制。在此基础上,进一步展望了番茄果实形态发育相关基因的应用前景。借助基因编辑技术可实现对果实形态的定向改良,并结合人工智能技术,进一步加速育种进程,实现快速育种,为培育定向需求的番茄新品种提供有力支持。本文旨在为研究番茄果实形态发育的分子机理提供理论基础,指明未来研究方向,为番茄分子育种提供有力的理论依据,助力培育高产、优质的新品种。

Abstract:

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), as a global vegetable, occupies a significant position in agricultural production and food processing industry due to its rich nutritional value and variety of consumption options. Fruit morphological development is a key factor affecting tomato yield and quality, which mainly involves the development of fruit size and shape. This process is finely regulated by genes and plant hormones. However, the number of genes involved in fruit morphogenesis is relatively small, and the regulatory mechanisms are still unclear. Although most of the existing studies have focused on the mining of related genes, relatively few investigations have been conducted into gene regulatory mechanisms. This paper reviewed the genes related to fruit morphological development obtained through forward genetics, and analyzed the variation of these genes and their related regulatory mechanisms. It also briefly introduced the application of phytohormones in fruit morphology development, and discussed the mechanism of phytohormone regulation of tomato fruit morphology development. On this basis, the paper further explored the potential application of genes associated with tomato fruit morphology development. The employment of gene editing technology facilitates the targeted enhancement of fruit morphology. In conjunction with artificial intelligence technology, the breeding process is able to be expedited, thereby facilitating the rapid development of new tomato varieties that are tailored to specific requirements. This review aims to provide a theoretical foundation for studying the molecular mechanisms of fruit morphological development, identify future research directions, and establish a robust theoretical basis for tomato molecular breeding. Ultimately, the goal is to facilitate the cultivation of new varieties that are high-yielding and of superior quality.
