Abstract: Based on the polymorphic sequence of a particular area in a functional gene closely related to phenotype, functional marker is a novel dominant molecular marker developed by correlation analysis, spectrum analysis, RNA interference and QTL mapping method, etc. Using these functional markers, whether or not the target allele from different genetic backgrounds exist can be directly and rapidly determined. In this work, the concept and characteristics of functional markers are briefly introduced, mainly exploring the application and prospect of functional markers as an assistant means in wheat breeding, in order to provide reference for the development of related molecular markers

Key words: wheat, molecular marker, functional gene, assistant breeding
