Abstract: Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) is an important plant of the Rosaceae family. There are abundant hawthorn germplasms in China and many varieties are selected. But the germplasm research of hawthorn is always dominated by the traditional classification and research methods are relatively backward. Breeding methods are mainly clonal selection and appear to be single. To better carry out the Chinese hawthorn classification and breeding research, the breeding condition and application of molecular markers in variety identification, genetic diversity and origin of evolution are briefly summarized in this paper. And hawthorn germplasm research and breeding in the future are also brought forward.
