Abstract: A hallmark of plant stress is the accumulation of the red or purple flavonoids. Many evidences proved that flavonoids played the important roles in plant stress protection. So the contribution of plant flavonoids to UV-B protection， disease resistances and resistances to aluminum toxicity were outlined. Progress on defining the mechanisms that controlled the amounts and varieties of flavonoids produced in plants in response to diverse environmental stress was also discussed.
