Abstract: C. Lacryma-jobi L. is important healthy plant in the world which not only improve healthy level, but also will be important agriculture product after china join in WTO. C. Agrestis L. is wild species from coix with many extraordinary traits. Which can be the source of genes for the improvement of C. Lacryma-jobi L. by hybridizing with C. Lacryma-jobi L. to creat many of new recombinant variants .In this paper ,the coix research of germplasm,cytogenetics,physiological and biochemical tissue culture and genetic improvement in China was reviewed ,it also analyses the development tendency ,in order to solve the problem of lacking superior variety in coix production in China.
