Abstract：The one of center for the origin and genetic diversity of waxy corn is in Yunnan province. In where,the germplasm resources of waxy maize are richer than elsewhere in china, and the type of landraces is obviously diverse,and the distribution of the native varieties is also very wide in 78 counties or cities of 16 states or cities. Silunuo were still planted at Menghai county in Xishuangbanna,which was recognized as waxy corn landraces with a series of primitive traits. This paper reviewed the development of study on waxy corn for the research institutions and researcher in intra-and outer-Yunnan province from ecotype or diversity of landraces, content changes of branched chain starch, bands characteristics of peroxidase isozyme,genetic diversity with molecular markers revealed. The relationship between Menghai Silunuo and Myanmar waxy corn,and Menghai Silunuo and Sikkim original corn were analyzed,and the role and main problems of waxy corn were also analyzed in the developing characteristic agriculture in Yunnan plateau.
