Abstract: Cytokinesis partitions the cytoplasm of a dividing cell after the duplicated nuclear genome has been separated into two daughter assemblies， and cytokinesis occurs in all life forms from single-celled bacteria to multicellular eucaryotes. Several lines of research have contributed to the analysis of plant cytokinesis， such as the improved technology in cytology and the increased mutations that interfere with cytokinesis. This review focuses on the recent advances in cytology and genetic studies for different types of cytokinesis in plant， and the problem in plant cytokinesis was summarized and discussed.
