Copy number variations (CNVs), as an important structural variant in genomes, are widely present in plants, affecting their phenotype and adaptability. In recent years, CNV research has not only focused on changes in gene copy numbers but has also been linked to complex mechanisms such as genome rearrangements, transposon activity, and environmental adaptation. The advancement in sequencing technologies has made the detection and analysis of CNVs more efficient, not only revealing their crucial roles in plant disease resistance, adaptability, and growth development, but also demonstrating broad application potential in crop improvement, particularly in selective breeding and genomic selection. By studying CNV changes during the domestication process, researchers have gradually recognized the important role of CNVs in plant domestication and evolution. This article reviews the formation mechanisms of CNVs in plants, methods for their detection, their relationship with plant traits, and their applications in crop improvement. It emphasizes future research directions involving the integration of multi-omics to provide new perspectives on the structure and function of plant genomes.
