Abstract: The extensive application of rare earth elements on agriculture has caused remarkable economic benefits. Lots of Studies on the action mechanism of biological effects of rare earth elements had been carried out and some of the perspectives were put forward. The occurrence state of rare earth elements in the inner parts of plants, the mechanisms of their effects on the photosynthesis of plants, their competitive replacement of cellular calcium, their free radical scavenging in the organism, and the tight binding of rare earth elements with biological macromolecules and the location of these compounds on the cellular level were reviewed in this paper to provide new ideas for the researches on application technology of rare earth elements in agriculture.
