Abstract: Red-leaf plants draw special attention of people because of the bright leaf color. However, there is no systemic elaboration on the foliar characteristics and relative influence factors. This article generally reviewed recent researches concerning the above mentioned aspects. The foliar characteristics included tissue structure photosynthetic characteristics, pigment composition and related enzymes involved in the synthesis process. Relative influence factors included light, soil, temperature and season. The current research on redleaf plants mainly focused on leaf structure, photosynthetic characteristics, types and content of anthocyanidin, and synthesis-related enzyme, while neglected gene expression and regulation. So we should carry out the study on gene expression and regulation of leaf color in order to clarify the influence of environmental factors on the performance of red-leaf plants and expand their planting range.
