Belonging to the field of biotechnologies, the invention provides a molecular marking method for identifying a tea clonal variety of tea trees. The method includes the following steps of: 1) putting 1.0g of fresh and tender buds and leaves of a variety to be tested into a mortar, adding liquid nitrogen and grinding the mixture into powder, adding a CTAB buffer solution, conducting water bathing at a temperature of 65DEG C for 30-60 minutes, then adding a DNA extracting solution to obtain the genome DNA of the tea tree variety to be tested; 2) taking the genome DNA extracted in step 1) as a template, using SSR (simple sequence repeat) primers for PCR amplification, and subjecting the amplification product to 10% native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, thus obtaining an electropherogram of the variety to be tested; and 3) comparing the electropherogram of the variety to be tested with a standard tea tree variety electropherogram obtained according to the step 1) and step 2), and if the variety to be tested and the standard variety are consistent in band composition, determining the variety to be tested and the standard variety as an identical variety, thus obtaining the purity of the variety to be tested. Compared with other methods, the invention can reflect the genetic background and genetic relationship of tea tree varieties more truly. And the technology provided in the invention can be used as a scientific basis for identifying the authenticity of the tea tree varieties.
