| Summary: | Summary: Climate-change-induced extreme heat and drought increasingly threaten plant growth and development, with a particularly significant impact on sexual reproduction. Heat and drought stress can disrupt key stages of plant sexual reproduction, including flowering time, gametophyte development, pollination, and seed formation, leading to infertility and substantial yield reductions in crops. This review systematically summarizes the latest research on the effects of heat and drought stress on various stages of plant sexual reproduction and proposes specific strategies to mitigate the agricultural hazards posed by these stresses. By providing an in-depth analysis of the underlying mechanisms and regulatory networks, this review offers a theoretical basis for advancing fundamental research and optimizing agricultural practices to address the severe challenges climate change presents to agriculture. |
