Advances in Germplasm Resources and Breeding of Crabapple
Crabapple is a traditional ornamental plant in China with a long cultivation history.In recent years,with the continuous expansion of the application of crabapple germplasm in ecological construction,crabapple varieties formed through natural hybridization and artificial hybridization breeding have emerged one after another,greatly enriching the germplasm resources of crabapple.This article explores the current status of germplasm resources,research on germplasm,and progress in breeding technology of crabapple,then looks forward to future key research directions,aiming to provide reference for the research on germplasm resources and breeding of crabapple.
