Abstract: The recent advances of the research on embryonic development of Litchi were reviewed as follow four aspects:the process of embryo and endosperm development of Litchi, the relationship between the growth harmony of embryo and endosperm with the rate of fruit set, the influence of endogenous hormone variation and ectogenous growth regulators on Litchi embryonic development,the relationship between growth regulators and embryonic development of parthenocarpy Litchi types. From above,the relationship between different Litchi varieties and the mechanism of embryonic development were suggested. Some suggestions for the future research direction were made.

Key words: Litchi, Embryonic development, Varieties types
