Abstract: Recently the molecular marker techniques develop rapidly and are widely used in studies of Camellia oleifera. Owing to advantages of high-efficiency and reliability with molecular marker technique, its rapid development offers fast and efficient measure in genetic diversity analysis, cultivar identification, valuable gene mapping, molecular marker-assisted selection and the construction of molecular genetic maps. The applications of several molecular marker techniques, i.e., RAPD, AFLP, SSR, ISSR and SRAP etc. in studying C. oleifera are reviewed. The current problems and the focuses in the future researches are also discussed while utilizing the molecular marker in studying C. oleifera.

Key words: molecular marker, Camellia oleifera, genetic diversity, gene mapping, molecular marker-assisted selection
