Rich germplasm resources
Orchid plants are widely distributed, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. The native species of Cymbidium, Paphiopedilum, Vanda orchid, Phalaenopsis and other cattleya are distributed in China, mainly in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Guangdong , South China and Southwest of Taiwan Province. The world's first artificial hybrid variety of Cymbidium is made by crossing the jasper orchid and ivory white flower orchid native to my country as parents. The parents that can be used for hybridization include Hutoulan, Huangchanlan, and Meihualan native to my country. These wild species are distributed in high-altitude areas. There are about 70 native species of Dendrobium in China, including Dendrobium, Dendrobium tenuiflora, Dendrobium cherry, Dendrobium fringe, Dendrobium primulatum, etc.; Paphiopedilum has more than 10 native species in China, including Paphiopedilum arundinacea, Paphiopedilum sclerophylla, Paphiopedilum sclerophylla, etc.; Wild Vanda orchid native to China There are Baizhu Vanda, Pure Color Vanda, Dwarf Vanda, etc. The native species of Phalaenopsis are endangered and are also distributed in China. Among them, Taiwan has two species, Taiwan Phalaenopsis and Pink Phalaenopsis, and Yunnan has Huaxi Phalaenopsis and Yunnan West. There are 3 species of Phalaenopsis and Manchurian Phalaenopsis, and 1 species of Hainan Phalaenopsis ianen in Hainan. my country has a very superior advantage in wild resources. How to develop and utilize these wild resources and transfer the excellent qualities of wild resources to commercial production is an important problem faced by scientific research, and it is also an arduous task for scientific researchers. Researchers should domesticate and introduce wild germplasm resources with more excellent ornamental value, and use varieties with some excellent traits as parents to cultivate flowers, color, fragrance, type, resistance and other qualities. Good quality varieties. However, we must pay attention to strengthening the protection of germplasm resources while using wild resources, protecting endangered wild species, and investigating, developing and using them in a planned and purposeful manner.
