Abstract：MicroRNA（miRNA）are endogenous non-coding single stranded small RNA molecules with
19-25 nt length in eukaryotes．They regulate the gene expression mainly by interfering the accumulation of
protein products of target mRNA or degrading target mRNA，and play an important role in plant response to
stress，hormone regulation，reproductive development，and organ differentiation，etc．Plant growth needs
suitable environment conditions．When the environment fluctuation exceeds the tolerance range of plants，
plant growth and development will be harmed．In recent years，along with the further going deep in research
on miRNA，more and more miRNA involved in tomato response to abiotic stress have been discovered．This
paper reviewed the functions of miRNA exerted in tomato growth and development under stress conditions，
including temperature，water，mineral nutrition，light and oxygen，etc.，so as to provide reference for
further research on the regulatory network of miRNA in tomato．
