Abstract: The application of molecular marker assisted selection (MAS) for the variety development in rice was reviewed, with emphasis on progress made in the development of super rice hybrids in China, and on work conducted by the authors, including the identification and application of subspecies differentiating DNA markers, mapping of quantitative trait loci, and MAS for disease resistance restorer lines and new hybrid rice combinations.

Key words: molecular marker assisted selection, gene mapping, subspecies differentiating marker, hybrid rice
