杜鹃属植物在自然界的杂交现象是普遍存在的,国内外已经通过杂交育种培育出许多杜鹃花新品种。以羊踯躅和日本杜鹃为试材,进行传粉生物学特性研究和种间杂交及自交试验,为杜鹃花属植物的杂交育种及新品种选育提供基础。
Natural hybrid is common in Rhododendron species. Many new varieties of Rhododendron were cultivated by breeding in China and abroad. R. molle (B1.) G. Don and R. molle subsp, japoni- cum were used as experimental materials in this reseach, and the pollination biological characteristics, the interspecific crosses and selfing were carried out in order to study the compatibility and provide basics for cross breeding and new variety breeding of Rhododendron L.
