About 100 Acacia species have been introduced into China for their considerable economic value.However,many problems have emerged during the operation and management of seed orchard since their introduction.The fact that planters know little about Acacia reproductive biology would make things worse.Therefore,a deep knowledge to the reproductive biology of Acacia is urgently needed.In this paper,the advances in more than half a century' s research,including floral morphology,characters and development of anther and pollen,anthesis and pollination,breeding system,were reviewed.And the reasons for low fruit and seed set were discussed as well.Advices for future' s study were given in order to manage seed orchard.
