英文摘要	The centromere is a defining region that mediates chromosome attachment to kinetochore microtubules and proper segregation of the sister chromatids. Intriguingly, satellite DNA and centromeric retrotransposon as major DNA constituents of centromere showed baffling diversification and species-specific. However, the key kinetochore proteins are conserved in both plants and animals, particularly the centromere-specific historic H3-like protein (CENH3) in all functional centromeres. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of epigenetic mechanisms in the establishment and maintenance of centromere identity. Here, we review the progress and compendium of research on plant centromere in the light of recent data.
