Alternative splicing is a process in which the mRNA precursor produces a variety of mature transcripts through different splicing mode. It is an important way in post transcriptional regulation in eukaryotic cells. Plant genes also can produce diverse transcripts via alternative splicing on the same gene, so as to regulate a variety of biological processes. In plants, the research on this field lags behind that in animals, but great progresses have been made in recent years. In this review, we summarized the biological significance, splicing patterns, research methods of the alternative splicing, as well as its roles in the regulation in the growth, development and responses to environmental stresses. Some perspectives and prospects are give for this research field.
