Research Progress on Genetics and Breeding of Quercus mongolica in China
Quercus mongolica,a common native tree in northern China,is of extremely high economic and eco-logical value.The breeding research of Quercus mongolica in China started relatively late due to the needs of social development and the features of Quercus mongolica itself,and now it mainly focuses on provenance testing,selec-tion of superior trees,sexual reproduction,asexual reproduction,and molecular breeding,among which the re-search progress of asexual reproduction and molecular breeding is relatively slow.The review systematically dis-cusses the genetic improvement of Quercus mongolica in China from the above aspects,to provide a reference.
