%X Methane(CH4)is an important atmospheric trace gas,contributing to global warming and atmospheric redox chemistry. Traditionally, the only known biologial source of methane was a limited group of obligate anaerobic prokaryotes called methanogens. However, a recent research repoted aerobic CH4 emission from plants by an unrecognized,nonmicrobial mechanism. In this paper the study of methane emissions from plants was reviewed,and pointed out the directions for future research work in this field.
