Brassinosteroids，a kind of novel plant endogenous hormone，are universally acknowledged as plant growth regulator with high activity，broad spectrum application，and non-toxic sterols in agricultural production．In recent years，it has been found that brassinosteroids can enhance plant resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses， and promote plant growth and development，thus to further increase crops production.This paper summarizes the research progress made on brassinosteroids mediating vegetable resistance to multiple environmental stresses， including water，temperature，salt，pathogen，and heavy metal stress， etc．The paper also prospected some research directions in the future.
