Persimmon is the most cold-resistant subtropical culture. It is relevant in scientific research and a prospect for the application of modern methods in plant breeding. The aim of this work is to review the latest advances in molecular genetic methods in persimmon breeding (Diospyros L.). The article shows the importance of studying the molecular genetic basis of persimmon breeding as a necessary condition for the development of new approaches in the production of new varieties. Statistics on the cultivation of this crop on an industrial scale is presented. The importance of culture is shown and given information on the territory of cultivation. Data on the study of genetic diversity, assessment of genetic stability, understanding the origin of persimmon varieties, degree of relationship using a number of molecular markers are presented. There are also DNA sequencing results, which are shown closely related relationships of Diospyros kaki with wild species D. oleifera, D. deyangensis, D. virginiana, D. glaucifolia, D. lotus and D. jinzaoshi. The reduce the astringency of the fruit, the significant role of regulation of structural genes (DkADH, DkPDC, DkPK, ALDH) in the biosynthesis of proanthocyanidins, in increasing the tolerance of plants to abiotic and biotic stress factors, level of expression of the studied genes are presented in this review
