Abstract: Anther dehiscence is necessary for plant reproduction. Defects in anther dehiscence give rise to the failure of pollen release from anther locules and hence affect pollination. Therefore， it is essential to understand the cytological and molecular mechanism of plant anther dehiscence. In this paper we reviewed the studies on the mechanisms of plant anther dehiscence from different angles of view， as well as the reports aiming to the functional identification of the genes involving in the regulation pathway for anther dehiscence， in particular， the JA biosynthesis pathway.
