The detection of discrete X-ray spectral features during the afterglows ofgamma-ray burst is an important and difficult measurement, which willundoubtedly provide indispensable clues to help us understand the physicalnature of the burst progenitor star. Several interesting cases have beenreported, but the reality of the detections as well as theiridentifications and interpretations remain rather controversial. I willgive a brief review the current status of X-ray emission line detections inGRB afterglows, some of the existing models, and the prospects fordetecting them with present and future observatories.v
