Abstract
The development of genetic markers was undergoing four stages, which were morphological markers, cytological markers, biochemical markers and molecular markers. In this paper, the characteristics of several types of most used molecular markers were compared, which would provide theoretical basis for their proper uses in plants. The application to the research of forest trees' genetic diversity and genetic breeding, the construction of DNA fingerprint mapping, the appraisal of genetic relationship and classification were introduced.
