Abstract:

Hippeastrum vittatum has high ornamental and economic value. This study systematically summarizes the research progress on the introduction and domestication,cross breeding,and tissue culture of Hippeastrum vittatum in China:(1)Hippeastrum vittatum has high ornamental value,strong adaptability,and is suitable for cultivation in most regions of China;(2)cross breeding is the main method for cultivating new varieties of Hippeastrum vittatum,and distant hybridization is expected to create novel hybrid offspring;(3)a wide variety of explants are available for rapid propagation via tissue culture,allowing selection based on specific objectives,with bulb scales attached to the bulb disc being the most widely used explant material. Currently,the development of the Hippeastrum vittatum industry in China still faces several limitations,primarily including:(1)a shortage of new varieties with independent intellectual property rights,and an over-reliance on a limited range of breeding methods;(2)incomplete and unsystematic tissue culture techniques,which result in low propagation efficiency;(3)a high dependence on imported bulbs. Therefore,breakthroughs in new varieties breeding and large-scale propagation techniques represent the main direction for future research and industrial development of Hippeastrum vittatum.
