Abstract: Seed vivipary is a complex result of heredity and environment， which is influenced by a large number of genes and phytohormones. Molecular biology techniques， such as gene cloning and expression， biosynthesis and signal transduction of hormones and molecular genetics， are useful approaches for the analysis of mechanism of seed vivipary. This paper briefly summarized the advances on the relationship between related genes such as seed coat gene R， thumb gene Rht3 and Viviparous (Vp) gene family and vivipary in plant seeds and the role of ABA， GA biosynthesis and signal transduction in seed vivipary.
