Many important advances in various fi elds of plant biology have been obtained by both the China domestic and abroad scientists. Particularly, the development of plant biology research in China is re- markable, making gradually inceased contributions to global plant biology. In this review, I summarized the major research advances on seven areas of plant biology in 2008–2013, which are plant genomics, identifi cation of genes controlling major agronormic traits in crop plants, biogenesis of plant hormones and their signaling pathways, small RNAs and epigenetics in plants, plant-microbe interactions, plant nutrients and metabolism, and plant biotechnology. A simple comparison was also given to show the focuses of the domestic and abroad studies. In particular, the important research achivements and contributions to plant biology by Chinese scien- tists were introduced. Key words: plant biology; research advances; comparison 2008
