Current status of pineapple breeding, industrial development, and genetics in China

Abstract Pineapple is the most important economic plant in family Bromeliaceae and third-most economically tropical fruit world. It has become an Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, which are suitable areas for its cultivation. However, modern well-organized breeding systems have not yet been established pineapple. In this review, we describe current status of geographical distribution, industrial development, pineapple China. The introduced, including traditional methods, such as crossbreeding, mutagenesis breeding, biotechnology combining cell engineering gene engineering. addition, research progress on assisted technology based genetic map construction molecular marker development presented. New challenges perspectives obtaining high quality discussed context programs
