Abstract: The principle and main analysis methods were briefly introduced and present situation of mapping quantitative trait loci(QTLs) related to yield traits were summarized in rice, wheat, maize, cotton, soybean, tomato, barley, rapeseed and other crops. Problems and prospects of mapping QTLs for yield traits were also discussed in the article. Using the combination of traditional methods with yield QTL analysis to breed would promote crops yield up to a new level, and that was the only way to breed super-high yielding crops.
