Abstract This study analyzes the key role of the gene regulatory system that affects the growth, development and environmental response of corn in variety improvement. In recent years, significant breakthroughs have been made in genomics research techniques, providing an in-depth understanding of the composition and dynamic characteristics of the maize gene regulatory network. This network forms a multi-level modular structure through the synergistic effects of regulatory proteins, DNA regulatory regions and functional Rnas, controlling the formation mechanisms of important traits such as spike stage, stress resistance and yield. This study integrates multiple omics data and intelligent algorithms, significantly improving the construction efficiency and analytical accuracy of gene regulatory networks. Although existing technologies still have problems such as insufficient tissue-specific analysis, new methods such as single-cell spatial omics offer the possibility to solve these difficulties. The analysis of the gene regulatory mechanism of corn based on genomics technology will effectively promote the innovation of molecular breeding technology and contribute to the sustainable development of agriculture. The in-depth analysis of these regulatory networks will open up new ways for crop improvement.
