Abstract: Radix Salviae Miltorrhizae (Danshen) is the dried root and rhizome of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge., and molecular markers have been deeply and thoroughly applied to studies of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, especially Radix Salviae Miltorrhizae. The present study introduced the prominent advantages of molecular marker technology (RAPD, AFL, SSR, ISSR, SRAP and etc.) in identification of traditional Chinese medicine, and reviewed the application of these molecular markers in germplasm resources research on Radix Salviae Miltorrhizae. The main problems of molecular markers in studies of Radix Salviae Miltorrhizae were raised, and the prospect of molecular markers in germplasm resources research on Radix Salviae Miltorrhizae was discussed.
