| Abstract:
This paper reported the recent advances made in the classification study on the Chinese moutan, that four wild species related closely to the origination of Chinese cultured moutan, main cultivar groups and their distribution regions, relationship both between these wild species and cultivar groups and among the cultivar groups were identified basically, detailed the formation and characters of three larger cultivar groups of Chinese moutan and their irreplaceable position and action in the breeding, and discussed the relationship between the wild species only distributing in China and the cultured moutan at home and abroad. It will give you a new idea about 'chinese moutan. Correct classification of the species and cultivars of horticulture plants is an important basis of breeding. Tree-peony, Moutan or Mudan belongs to Sect. Moutan, paeonic, paeoniaceae and is a famous horticulture plant of China origin, For many years, some basic taxonomical problems of moutan species remained unsolved better so as to confine the establishment of cultivar classification system and its breeding work. Since 1989, some Chinese scholars have made an important progress in the classification of moutan species and cultivars which made it more clear the purpose, method and procedure of Chinese moutan breeding. | |
