Abstract: Maize is a main crop as food、feed and raw material for industrial processing. China is the second largest maize production country in the world. Increasing yield、improving quality and enhancing resistance and adaptability are not only the aims of conventional maize breeding but also one of the important study contents of biotechnology. The study of Maize DNA Molecular Markers begins in 1975. In this paper, kinds and characteristics of molecular markers are introduced. The study advances of applying molecular markers are also reviewed, in the fields of building molecular marker maps、comparing genome、locating dominant gene、QTL analysis of whole genome、mapping clone、molecular marker-assistant selection、DNA fingerprint analysis、genetic analysis of heterosis、assessment of resources and species evolution and so on.
