In recent years, the number of studies concerning population genetics and phylogenetics in mosses using molecular markers has remarkably grown. This review summarizes the main features of the most used molecular techniques based on PCR and their application in bryology, with particular attention to mosses. This work also provides a bibliographic guide to 108 molecular studies focused on mosses to assist in choosing the most suitable markers according to the main aims of a specific research.
