[Purpose / Significance] In order to objectively and comprehensively reveal research progress and knowledge structure of brassinosteroid to guide researchers to better promote the follow-up study. [Method/Process] This paper systematically analyzed the big data of international literature on brassinosteroid from 1970 to 2019 based on Web of Science database by CiteSpace software. [Results / Conclusions] (1) Since the discovery of brassinosteroid, the total number of research has been increasing year by year, especially for recent ten years China, the United States and Japan have published the most number of papers, among which, the RIKEN (Japan) and Chinese Academy of Sciences are the main force. (2) There are five core author groups formed around Japanese researchers, and the internal cooperation is close and gradually spreads out. (3) The study of brassinosteroid can be divided into four stages: germination stage (1970-1990), formation stage (1991-2000), development period (2001-2010) and mature stage (2011-2019). (4) The focus of future research is the molecular mechanism of brassinosteroid involved in stress response and its application.
