Abstract：
Over a long period of evolution, plants have developed self-protection mechanisms, such as leaving seeds, dropping leaves, growing thorns, producing specific substances or emitting special odors to repel insects. Although studies on the taxonomic characteristics, functions and application of spines in spiny plants have been reported in China and abroad, a systematic overview of plant spines is currently lacking. This study therefore identifies the characteristics and types of plant spines based on domestic and international research on plant spines to provide clear criteria or bases for determining the types of plant spines. In addition, the functions, regulatory mechanisms, and factors influencing the formation of spines and the prospects for their development and application are described and summarized. This study will help to improve the understanding of the types, functions and regulatory mechanisms of plant spines and provide new ideas for the genetic improvement of plants from spiny to nonspiny varieties.
摘要：
在漫长的进化过程中，植物已经发展了自我保护机制，比如留下种子，落叶,越来越多的荆棘，产生特定物质或发出特殊气味以驱除昆虫。尽管对分类学特征的研究，棘在多刺植物中的作用和应用在国内外已有报道,目前缺乏对植物棘的系统概述。因此，本研究根据国内外对植物棘的研究，确定了植物棘的特征和类型，为确定植物棘的类型提供了明确的标准或依据。此外,功能,监管机制,阐述和总结了影响棘突形成的因素及其开发和应用前景。这项研究将有助于提高对类型的理解，植物刺的功能和调控机制,为植物从刺变种到非刺变种的遗传改良提供新的思路。
