Abstract: The Rubus, consisting of numerous species and varieties, is botanically a polymorphic, variable and very complicated genus in Rosaceae. It is a fundamental work for economic utilization to identify Rubus resources， and effective genetic markers are the main techniques to identify its resources. Research progress and application of morphological markers, pollen morphological markers, cytological markers and molecular markers on identification in Rubus resources were reviewed. The morphological identification is the basal method although other markers have been widely used. The current problems and some suggestions for further studies were also given in this paper.
