Brassinolide is an important plant hormone regulating plant growth and development, promoting cell division and elongation, photosynthesis and respiration, photomorphogenesis, stress resistance improvement, transpiration reduction and make a very important contribution to the improvement of grape fruit yield and quality. In this research, key enzymes and influencing factors in brassinolide biosynthetic pathway and the effects of brassinolides on grape fruit yield and quality were reviewed, the physiological impacts of brassinolide on plant photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, and photomorphogenesis were also summarized. Meanwhile, the interaction network between brassinolide and other plant endogenous hormones was reviewed, opinions that future research direction should be focused on the synthesis of related transcription factors and interaction mechanism between brassinolides and other plant hormones as well as research and development of new efficient brassinolides plant regulators were put forward.
