Abstract
Late embryogenesis abundant protein(LEA) is one of the most significant drought-induced proteins. Lea genes express themselves not only during the period of seed maturation and dehydration,but also would increase when the plant vegetative organs are faced with different stresses. In this article,a brief description is given of the classes and characters,functions of LEA proteins and the structures and expressions of the lea genes.
