Abstract: As an important part of biodiversity, genetic diversity is the basis of species diversity and ecosystem diversity. Aquilaria sinensis (Loureiro) Sprengel is precious traditional medicine and natural perfume, the economic value is very high, understanding its genetic diversity is critical for both theory and application. The distribution and research on genetic diversity of Aquilaria sinensis (Loureiro) Sprengel from different levels including morphology, cytology, biochemistry and molecule were reviewed. Generally, the genetic diversity of Aquilaria sinensis (Loureiro) Sprengel is high. Some emergent questions and tendencies are presented and discussed in this paper, aiming to supply reference to the further research.
