Advances in the Genetic Relationship of Longan Germplasm Resources

Abstract:

Longan germplasm resources are very important for the breeding study. The genetic relationships of germplasm resources are the scientific basis for longan’s origin, evolution, classification, breeding and application. The research advances in genetic relationships of longan germplasm are reviewed in the following aspects:morphology, palynology, biochemistry and genetics. The prospects of longan germplasm resources are also discussed.

Key words:Longan; Germplasm resources; Genetic relationship
