摘要
[Objectives]This study was conducted to provide technical standards for domestic Spathiphyllum variety description and resource evaluation.[Methods]Through field trials and character surveys of the collected 83 Spathiphyllum varieties,after several revisions by fellow experts,and with reference to the Guidelines for Testing the Specificity,Consistency and Stability of New Plant Varieties:Spathiphyllum(TG/135/3)issued by the International Union For The Protection of New Varieties of Plants,the DUS testing guidelines for Spathiphyllum have been developed,and statistical analysis and other methods were used to study the traits for the guideline.[Results]Thirty two testing traits,including 11 mandatory traits,8 basic traits,10 new traits,and 3 optional traits were finally determined;five traits including plant height,plant width,and leaf length were divided into 7 grades,and 9 traits such as leaf width,spathe length,and spathe width were divided into 5 levels;and the observation method and trait code of the trait spathe depth were adjusted.[Conclusions]The development of this guideline provides a basis for judging the specificity,consistency and stability of Spathiphyllum varieties,and is of great significance to the breeding and protection of Spathiphyllum varieties.
