Abstract

Abstract: As a kind of important small G protein，Rab family plays an integral role in various physiological activities of eukaryotic cell. Higher plants have evolved a unique set of Rab GTPases that presumably meet the specific demands of plant cell trafficking. Rab proteins involve in the regulation of plant growth and development，and the response to environmental stresses through the change of own activity by the perception of upstream signals. Here we review the research progresses of Rab family in respects of evolution characteristics，structural features，and functions of members in the signal transduction，growth and development，and stress responses in plant.

Key words: Rab, structural features, development, stress
