The invention discloses an oil-tea SSR molecular marker which comprises acquisition and pre-treatment of an oil-tea DNA sequence, retrieval of SSR loci in the DNA sequence, design and synthesis of an SSR primer, establishment of an SSR marker system, and screening of a polymorphic SSR marker. Oil-tea genomic sequences obtained by 454 sequencing and eligible sequences containing simple sequence repeat units in an EST sequence are retrieved and screened to obtain twelve polymorphic SSR markers: CO_gSSR11, CO_gSSR12, CO_gSSR14, CO_gSSR16, CO_gSSR19, CO_gSSR20, CO_eSSR01, CO_eSSR04, CO_eSSR16, CO_eSSR40, CO_eSSR44 and CO_eSSR48. The oil-tea SSR molecular marker disclosed by the invention is suitable for genetic evaluation, germplasm identification and molecular marker assisted breeding research of oil-tea germplasm resources, has the advantages of good repeatability and high reliability, and is an effective molecular marker.
