Abstract

Although plant pheromones have been much less studied than animal pheromones, they are involved in a wide variety of processes in the life cycle of many Plants, particularly in sexual reproduction. In this review, the current knowledge concerning sex pheromones in Plants is described with emphasis on their structures and functions.
