Abstract: Inter-simple sequence repeat(ISSR)has been known as a novel molecular maker technology based on simple sequence repeat(SSR). At present,the research and development of medicinal plants are facing the problems such as unclear drug substance,uncontrollable quality and exhausted resources. DNA molecular marker technology,especially ISSR,has provided a new solution for the above problems. Comparing the merits and demerits of several commonly used molecular markers,finally,we mainly introduced the principles and characteristics of DNA molecular marker ISSR applied in current research of the medicinal plants,and summarized the new advances on ISSR molecular technology and its application prospective in the genetic diversity and structure of medicinal plants,identification of germplasm resources,quality identification of traditional Chinese medicine,and genetic map,aiming at providing better reference for the development and utilization of medicinal plants.

Key words: ISSR, molecular makers, medicinal plant, quality identification, genetic map
