The shift from vegetative to reproductive growth is an important developmental transition that affects flowering and maturation, architecture, and ecological adaptability in plants. The florigen-antiflorigen system universally controls flowering and plant architecture, and changes to the ratio of these components alter this transition and disrupt growth. The genes FT (FLOWERING LOCUS T), encoding the florigen protein FT, and CETS [CENTRORADIALIS (CEN)/TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1)/SELF-PRUNING (SP)], encoding antiflorigen proteins, have opposing roles.

Epitranscriptomic chemical modifications of RNAs have emerged as potent regulatory mechanisms in the plant stress adaptation process. Currently, over 170 distinct chemical modifications have been identified in mRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs), and long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). The genetic and molecular studies have identified the genes responsible for adding and removing chemical modifications on RNA molecules, known as "writers" and "erasers," respectively.

Genome editing and plant transformation are crucial techniques in plant biotechnology, allowing for the precise modification of plant genomes to enhance agronomically essential traits. The advancement of CRISPR-based genome editing tools in plants is limited, among others, by developing novel tissue culture methodologies for efficient plant genetic transformation. methodologies offer a promising alternative to overcome tissue culture limitations and facilitate crops' genetic improvement.
