Abstract: Jasmonic acid(JA) is a ubiquitously occurring plant growth regulator. JA and methyl jasmonate(MeJA) play important role in plant life. JA is involved in stamen development, regulates anther dehiscence and affects plant fertility. This paper reviewed and summarized the JA biosynthesis pathway and the regulation of gene expression, and the molecular research on JA regulates plant anther development, especially anther dehiscence at the late stage. Finally it puts forward some prospects for future study.

Key words: jasmonic acid, anther dehiscence, molecular research, regulation
