Abstract:Abstracts:Molecular markers applied on Magnolia officinalis included AFLP、RAPD、AP-PCR、DAF and SRAP at present.This paper reviewed the application status of these molecular markers in Magnolia officinalis,and outlined main advantages with disadvantages and put forward suggestions on them.It was thought that molecular marker research in Magnolia officinalis was still in the primary stage. Besides further researches on existing results,it was suggested that in the future more attention should be paid on the application researches of molecular markers on Magnolia officinalis MAS and conservation biology.TRAP technology system suitable for magnolia officinalis should be established to carry out corresponding research.
