Abstract: Disease resistance breeding is an important direction of tomato breeding. Molecular marker technology largely overcomes the limitations of phenotypic selection, greatly shortens the breeding cycle, and it has been widely used in tomato breeding. This paper reviewed the history and recent advances of molecular marker technology used in tomato disease resistance breeding in China. The characteristics of the main molecular markers and the main diseases in tomato disease resistance breeding were analyzed.

Key words: tomato disease, disease resistance breeding, molecular marker
