Abstract: Molecular fingerprintings reveal the differences between individuals at DNA level directly, which can identify tea cultivars effectively and protect the right of the variety plant. In this paper, the classification, concept and characteristics of fingerprinting were described. The research progress included 7 technologies for tea plant fingerprinting, as well as the application of fingerprinting in tea germplasm resources and breeding investigation were introduced. The problems existed in fingerprinting research of tea plant were discussed, and the construct of standard fingerpinting of tea cultivars was proposed.

Key words: tea plant, molecular fingerprinting, progress
