Paphiopedilum characterized by its distinctive ornamental value,holds substantial market potential within the realm of premium horticultural commodities.The cultivation of superior varieties with proprietary intellectual property rights is regarded as the cornerstone for the sustainable development of the Paphiopedi-lum industry.While China boasts a wealth of germplasm resources pertaining to Paphiopedilum,the devel-opment of the orchid industry in mainland China is still in its early stages.Primarily due to habitat degrada-tion and excessive harvesting,Paphiopedilum species have earned the dubious distinction of being among the most endangered plant taxa worldwide.The systematic development and promotion of marketable superior varieties not only promise favorable economic returns but also facilitate a reduction in demand for wild spe-cies,indirectly contributing to the effective conservation and sustainable utilization of Paphiopedilum.This review comprehensively surveys the breeding objectives of Paphiopedilum,germplasm resources,and key breeding techniques,encompassing introduction and domestication,hybridization breeding,polyploidy breed-ing,chemical mutagenesis,physical mutagenesis,and molecular breeding technologies.Furthermore,a nu-anced analysis of the strengths and weaknesses associated with these methodologies is provided,thereby es-tablishing a foundational framework for the efficient breeding of Paphiopedilum.
