Abstract The subject of this review is plant signalling peptides, peptides of a new generation which regulate growth, differentiation, and other plant physiological functions. These peptides include systemin, the phytosulfokines (PSKs), ENOD40, CLAVATA3, Locus‐S, POLARIS, IDA, and ROT4. On the basis of literature data and our own results we discuss their structure, biological properties, and structure/biological function relationship, especially for the more studied systemin and PSK‐α.
