Legumes, characterized by their ability to form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, play crucial roles in agriculture, ecology and human nutrition. Phosphatidylethanolamine-binding proteins (PEBPs) are the key genetic players that contribute to the diverse biological functions of legumes. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of important roles of PEBP genes in legumes, including flowering, inflorescence architecture, seed development and nodulation. We also delve into PEBP regulatory mechanisms and effects on plant growth, development, and adaptation to the environment. Furthermore, we highlight their potential biotechnological applications for crop improvement and promoting sustainable agriculture. This review emphasizes the multifaceted roles of PEBP genes, shedding light on their significance in legume biology and their potential for sustainable productive farming.
豆科植物以其与固氮细菌形成共生关系的能力为特征，在农业、生态和人类营养方面发挥着关键作用。磷脂酰乙醇胺结合蛋白（PEBPs）是促成豆科植物多种生物学功能的关键基因因素。在本综述中，我们总结了目前对PEBP基因在豆科植物中的重要作用的理解，包括开花、花序结构、种子发育和结瘤。我们还深入探讨了PEBP的调控机制及其对植物生长、发育和环境适应的影响。此外，我们强调了它们在作物改良和促进可持续农业方面的潜在生物技术应用。本综述强调了PEBP基因的多方面作用，阐明了它们在豆科植物生物学中的重要性及其在可持续高产农业中的潜力。
