Synergistic optimization of crops by combining early maturation with other agronomic traits

The cultivation of early maturing crop varieties will aid in expanding the range of planting latitudes and enhancing the adaptability of plants to seasonal climates.There are remarkable parallels and discrepancies between the roles and regulatory networks of early maturing regulators in different crops.The breeding process is hindered by the negative correlation between early maturity, multi-resistance, and yield. Breaking this negative association and effectively polymerizing multiple desirable features is a key objective of modern plant breeding.Gene pleiotropy facilitates the highly efficient polymerization of early maturity, multi-resistance, optimal plant architecture, and high yield.
