title: [Molecular markers and their application in plant population research].
abstract: This review surveys kinds of markers such as allozyme, AFLP, RAPD, SSR, RFLP and their application in molecular ecology of plant populations. The advantages and disadvantages of these molecular markers in plant population research are discussed based on the comparison of the methods and the experience in research work. It is considered emphatically that the adoption of the molecular markers is dependent on the various research purposes and different quality and quantity of the molecular information are acquired from various molecular marker methods.
