Abstract: In the recent years, the molecular techniques developed rapidly, and it was used in sesame. The principle and characteristic of molecular markers, including RAPD, ISSR, SRAP, SSR and AFLP which were used in sesame study, were introduced in this paper. Applications of molecular techniques were reviewed in genetic diversity of germplasm resources and identification of molecular markers linked to important trait in sesame. The molecular markers foreground was viewed about sesame.
