Abstract:Identification and evaluation of quality traits is an important part of crop germplasm resource research. It is the foundation of crop germplasm resource deep excavation and wide use. This article reviewed the research in identification and evaluation of quality traits for the past few years. The progress in China was summarized: Main nutritional quality traits of 200,000 accessions (about 50% of saved) had been evaluated preliminarily;Contents of identification and evaluation involved widely and results were rich in variety and diversity; The standardization level of the identification and evaluation increased. The international development trend was also introduced. At last, the opinons and suggestions in development of domestic crop germplasm resources quality identification and evaluation were put forward.
