Engineered peptides bolster plant plasticity.

This review examines signaling peptides, which function in plant growth, development, and environmental adaptation, making them promising tools for crop improvement. Their gene-encoded nature and synthetic plasticity facilitate functional engineering. Engineered peptides offer superior binding affinity, functional specificity, and ligand stability, providing a multifaceted strategy to improve crop performance.
