• Bacterial spot caused by Xanthomonas is a bacterial disease that severely affects tomato production. In recent years，the rapid changes of the races in the pathogen of the disease，particularly the spread of X. gardneri，facilitated the work on genetics of resistance，mapping of genes，and marker-assisted
  breeding for resistance to the disease in tomato. To date，three genes and five QTLs conferring resistance to race T3 as well as three QTLs for resistance to race T4 have been mapped，some of them have been finely mapped，marker-assisted selection system has been established，and varieties with resistance to race T4 have been developed. This paper will summarize these newest progresses，analyze the existing issues，and discuss the promise of investigating the genetics of resistance to bacterial spot and its application to tomato breeding. This will provide some information for breeding of resistance to bacterial spot in tomato.

• Crossbreeding is a valuable method for producing new plant varieties with desirable
  characters. So far，this traditional method is still the major approach for breeding new Paeonia varieties.
  This paper reviewed the progress in Paeonia crossbreeding program. The typical achievements via
  intrasectional crossing mainly include“Lutea Hybrids”，“P. lactiflora Group”and“Herbaceous Hybrids”，
  while“Itoh Hybrids”represents the achievement of intersectional crossing. These distinctive genotypes
  were mainly developed by breeders from Europe，America and Japan. In comparison，only limited
  achievement was obtained by Chinese breeders. To promote future Paeonia crossbreeding program in
  China, we suggested more efforts be made in the five fields，i.e.，protection of wild germplasm resources，
  introduction of elite genotype，efficient selection of parental combination，in-depth study on mechanism of
  crossing barrier and consistent performance of crossing experiments.

• Abstract ( 996 ) HTML ( 2268 ) PDF (253KB) ( 2268 ) 　　　
• Heavy ion beam irradiation is an emerging radiation mutagenesis technology. Compared
  with traditional radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays，heavy ion beam provides a high linear energy
  transfer（LET）and relative biological effectiveness（RBE）. This technique induces mutations at a higher
  rate and wider mutation spectrum. When irradiated，the sensitivity of different parts and developmental
  stages of different plant materials varies. Radiation ion source commonly used is C，N，Ne etc. Through a
  combination of tissue culture，materials processing，re-irradiation and genetic engineering，this approach
  has been applied in more than 20 ornamental plants，including chrysanthemum，carnation，verbena，torenia
  etc. Many novel mutations and varieties have been obtained，some of them have been commercialized with
  large economic benefits. Heavy ion beam technology is an excellent tool to improve mutation breeding of
  horticulture plants with high efficiency.
