Abstract：DNA microarray technology is a kind of new technologies, which promises to monitor the whole genome, and anal-ysis the profiling of gene expression, so that researchers could have a better picture of the interactions among thousands of genes simultaneously. With the born of Citrus Genome Array,which is the first commercial citrus DNA microarray manufac-tured by Affymetrix corporation, microarray technology has played a more and more important role in the research of citrus genomics and related fields. This paper summarizes the current situation and advance in citrus microarray technology ,with an emphasis on the application of the technology in identification of important functional genes and researches on genome tran-scriptional changes. Besides the type of the DNA microarray being used in the research of citrus was introduced ,other possi-ble applications,such as detection of mutants and SNPs, metabolism of pathway and pathogens have also been briefly dis-cussed.
