Small peptides (SPs), ranging from 5 to 100 amino acids, play integral roles in plants due their diverse functions. Despite low abundance and small molecular weight, SPs intricately regulate critical aspects of plant life, including cell division, growth, differentiation, flowering, fruiting, maturation, stress responses. As vital mediators intercellular signaling, have garnered significant attention biology research. This comprehensive review delves into SPs' structure, classification, identification, providing a detailed understanding significance. Additionally, we summarize recent findings on the biological functions signaling pathways prominent that growth development. The also offers forward-looking perspective future research directions peptide pathways.
