Abstract: Pectin methylesterase (PME) or pectinesterase (PE) has been suggested to be involved in many important developmental processes in plants. Presently, research of PME is a hotpot in plant biology. This paper reviewed the structure model and the action mode of plant PME, and the isolation of pollen-specific PME.
