Abstract: To promote the progress of flax molecular biology study in China, the developments of flax were summarized, including DNA extraction, gene clone and transformation, molecular markers, molecular ID card, genetic diversity analysis, construction of genetic linkage map etc. A series of problems from the above aspects were pointed out, including less molecular markers development, lack of target genes and practicable markers of character, genetic linkage map that covering less genome, less research on molecular biology in cultivation, and the molecular biology study could not meet the requirement of breeding, cultivation and germplasm classification and so on. 5 constructive suggestions were proposed so as to provide reference for flax molecular biology study and development.
