title: [Enantioselective interaction between plants and chiral compounds].
abstract: There exists a close relationship between plants and chiral compounds. On one hand, plants can secrete and synthesize some chiral compounds such as glucosides, enzymes, terpenoids, organic acids and phytohormones that play important roles in plant physiological and biochemical processes, and on the other hand, artificial synthetic chiral compounds, especially pesticides, had enantioselective interactions with plants. The pesticides can enantioselectively inhibit the growth of plants, or can be enantioselectively absorbed and metabolized by plants. Therefore, in the exploitation, production and application of chiral compounds, it's needed to consider the enantioselective interaction between plants and chiral compounds. In the meanwhile, choosing appropriate plants to ameliorate the environment polluted by chiral compounds is of practical significance. In this review, the enantioselective interaction between plants and chiral compounds was summarized, and the amelioration of chiral compounds-polluted environment by plants was prospected.
