Abstract:

This paper systematically summarizes and presents the significant achievements and research advancements in Chinese cabbage breeding over the past 70 years. It focuses on four major phases of Chinese cabbage breeding in China,the innovation and utilization of Chinese cabbage germplasm resources,innovations and breakthroughs in breeding technologies,and the innovation and promotion of Chinese cabbage varieties. Additionally,the paper analyzes several existing challenges in the development of Chinese cabbage breeding and the seed industry in China. These challenges include the lack of large-scale application of efficient biobreeding technologies,insufficient systematic and in-depth exploration and evaluation of superior germplasm resources,severe homogeneity of varieties,substantial gaps between certain cropping types and foreign varieties,the need for further enhancement of research and development capabilities in seed enterprises,the preliminary formation of vegetable seed production base layout,steady improvement in seed quality,and the necessity for further enhancements in seed processing and treatment technologies. The paper proposes future directions for the Chinese cabbage seed industry,focusing on efficient breeding technologies,breeding objectives,seed production,and the improvement of seed quality.

Key words: Chinese cabbage, breeding, achievement, problem, development trend
