文摘N6-methyladenosine(m^(6)A)modification,the most abundant internal modification in messenger RNA(mRNA)and long non-coding RNA(lncRNA),has emerged as a critical epitranscriptomic regulatory mechanism in eukaryotes.While the importance of m^(6)A modification in various biological processes has been recognized,a comprehensive understanding of its diverse roles in plant biology and agricultural applications remains fragmented.This review analyzes recent advances inm^(6)A modification's biological functions in plants.m^(6)A modification plays crucial roles in multiple aspects of plant life,including seed germination,organ development,and reproductive structure formation.Furthermore,m^(6)A has been found to significantly influence plant responses to environmental stresses,including salt,drought,temperature,and heavy metal exposure.We also uncover m^(6)A involvement in important agricultural traits.This review provides insights into the mechanistic understanding of m^(6)A modification in plants and highlights its applications in agricultural improvement,offering a foundation for future research in crop enhancement and stress resistance.
