Mapping a target gene is useful to isolate the gene or get molecular marker for molecular marker-assisted selection. This paper summarized the recent studies of gene mapping in rice, including 194 genes. These genes are involved in disease resistance, cold tolerance, drought resistance, sterility, and fertility restoration of rice. The molecular markers that link with these genes were also summarized. Among these genes 14 have been cloned and sequenced. According to the results this paper also analyzed genes distribution rule in chromosomes.
