Abstract: Mitophagy is widely found in animals, plants and yeast, playing an important role in maintaining the balance of mitochondria in cells. Compared with the research progress of mitophagy in yeast and mammals, the research of mitophagy in plants is still at an early stage. And the mechanism of mitophagy in plants and the proteins involved in autophagy are still unclear. This paper reviews the research progress of mitophagy and the regulatory mechanism of mitophagy in plants, as well as related receptors, proteases and biological functions, so as to provide reference for the research on mitophagy in plants in the future.

Key words: mitophagy, plants, regulatory mechanism, function
