Abstract: Plant growth and reproduction are both affected by the rainfall pattern. The changes in rainfall pattern have important effects on plant reproduction. The author summarized the important effects of rainfall pattern on reproductive phenology, reproductive allocation and seed yield as well as seed traits, and discussed existing problems and future study directions for further development of plant reproductive strategy. The research fills up the blanks in this field.
