摘　　要：Rapid alkalinization factor(RALF)is widespread throughout the plant kingdom and controls many aspects of plant life.Current studies on the regulatory mechanism underlying RALF function mainly focus on Arabidopsis,but little is known about the role of RALF in crop plants.Here,we systematically and comprehensively analyzed the relation between RALF family genes from five important crops and those in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.Simultane-ously,we summarized the functions of RALFs in controlling growth and developmental behavior using conservative motifs as cues and predicted the regulatory role of RALFs in cereal crops.In conclusion,RALF has considerable application potential in improving crop yields and increasing economic benefits.Using gene editing technology or taking advantage of RALF as a hormone additive are effective way to amplify the role of RALF in crop plants.
