Abstract
China is one of the walnut original centers in the world, and the biggest walnut production country as well.
Walnut production and export of Shanxi Province occupies a leading position in China.
Walnut breeding research in Shanxi Pomology Institute (SPI) started in 1985. About 40 walnut cultivars were introduced from home and abroad during the past 25 years, among which 18 were foreign cultivars.
The walnut research group in SPI uses conventional breeding method for walnut breeding, and a superior series of walnut named Jinboxiang and a new cultivar named Jinbofeng No.1 have been selected, which have good comprehensive characters such as early bearing, thin shell, good quality, high shelling percentage, high yield and strong resistance.
These cultivars have spread in the province as well as the whole country.
The group also does study on walnut hybridization, observation and record of fine strains in walnut seedling nursery, research on walnut tissue culture and industrial seedling-raising, as well as walnut cultivation techniques.
A complete set of walnut cultivation techniques suitable in Shanxi Province and in other areas with similar climatic conditions is created.
