Appreciation Evaluation of 124 Cherry Blossom Germplasm Resources Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process
Taking the cherry blossom germplasm resources in the National Sakura Germplasm Resource Database of Wuhan Academy of Land-scape Sciences as the research object,based on 13 horticultural traits,the analytic hierarchy process was used to establish an ornamental eval-uation system for cherry blossom germplasm resources,and 124 cherry blossom germplasm resources were evaluated for their ornamental value. The results showed that among 124 cherry blossom resources,the comprehensive evaluation values of Cerasus cerasoides var. rubea'Hongxia',Cerasus conradinae 'Chujin',Cerasus serrulata'Sumaura-fugenzo',Cerasus ×kanzakura'Tairyo-zakura' and Cerasus 'Youkou' were be-tween 4.1440 and 3.7046,indicating a high level of ornamental evaluation;the comprehensive ornamental evaluation values of 20 germplasm resources,including Cerasus pseudocerasus'Keio-zakura ',Cerasus conradinae 'Chuyun ' and Cerasus campanulata'Kanhizakura-plena ',ranged from 3.5995 to 3.2111,indicating a high level of ornamental evaluation;the comprehensive evaluation values of 68 germplasm re-sources,including Cerasus ×kanzakura'Praecox',Cerasus incisa'Akane-yae',and Cerasus pseudocerasus,ranged from 3.1895 to 2.8004,and the ornamental evaluation level was average;the comprehensive evaluation value of 29 germplasm resources such as Cerasus × miyoshii'Ambigua',Cerasus serrulata'Fasciculata',Cerasus serrulata'Benitemari' was 2.7975-2.4772,and the ornamental evaluation grade was poor;the comprehensive evaluation values of the two germplasm resources of Cerasus tomentosa and Cerasus setulosa were 2.3530 and 2.1075,respectively,and the ornamental evaluation level was poor.
