气味腺是花器官上能够产生和释放花气味的特殊腺体结构，在传粉过程中与其他花部性状结合能够吸引传粉者访花，气味腺的研究有助于揭示动物与植物之间的协同进化机制，此外，气味腺外部形态特征及细胞微形态可作为分类依据之一。对气味腺的结构、类型和检测方法，及其在植物科属中的分布情况进行了归纳总结，并对气味腺在传粉过程中和分类学上的意义进行了分析。最后提出只有结合分子实验技术手段，全面综合考虑繁殖生物学和植物化学的分析方法，才能深入理解气味腺的多样性与演化。%Osmophores is special gland structure, which can produce and release lforal scent, and attract pollinators visiting lfowers combined with other lforal traits. The studies on osmophores might contribute to revealing the coevolution mechanism between animals and plants. In addition, the external morphology and micromorphology of osmophores can be used as one of basises of classiifcation. The structure, type, distribution and detection methods of osmophore in plants were summarized, the signiifcance of osmophore in pollination biology and taxonomic was also discussed. At last, it is proposed that studies on osmophores combined with molecular, reproductive biology and phytochemistry would help to understand the diversity and evolution of osmophores in the future.
