Primary experiments on Camellia oleifera cross breeding

Camellia oleifera distant cross breeding experiments have been taken to cultivate new variety with good characters of big fruit,thin skin,high seed-producing percentage and oil content.The results show that the success rates between Rosy Camellia oleifera and superior clones of Camellia oleifera and native variety of Camellia oleifera were all very low;and there was only one hybrid fruit of one hundred eighty-two artificial pollination from six cross combination.The hybrid seeds of BPZZ×GW2,BPZZ×GW1 and TSFH×G55 all exhibited good characters of big fruit,thin skin,high seed-producing percentage and oil content through comprehensive analysis on various fruit characters of new hybrid variety.The hybrid seeds have been cultured,and their late features needs further study.
