Advances in Research of Cutting Breeding Technology of Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge.

Cutting breeding is an important method of asexual reproduction of Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge. At present, it has been found that the factors influencing the cuttings of X. sorbifolium mainly include cutting material type, substrate type, cutting season, cutting material length and thickness, mother tree age, cutting material pretreatment method, hormone species concentration and soaking time. Besides, different regions, control conditions, and germplasm types have diferent cutting rooting rates. This paper introduced some of the problems in the cuttings of X. sorbifolium, and came up with some recommendations to provide a reference for the future research and technical promotion of X. sorbifolium cuttings.
