Selection of High Oil Content of Illicium verum Hook.f. Superior Individual

[Objective] The aim was to select high oil content of Illicium verum Hook.f.superior individual,to lay foundation for collectting and saving llicium verum Hook.f.germplasm and establishing its germplasm resources gene pool.[Method] Since 2002,the research of Illicium verum Hook.f.superior individual selection in its main producing areas of Yunnan was carried out and the selection standard of its superior individual was mapped out.In accordance with the selection standard,16 strains Illicium verum Hook.f.with high oil content were elected and each them was introduced.Finally,the expansive election,multiple choice,protection and utilization,and breeding and the related work of superior strains of Illicium verum Hook.f.were proposed.[Result] The 16 strains Illicium verum Hook.f.had 110-198 plants per 1000 kg,its fresh fruit weight was 5.04-90.7 g per fruit,its yield per plant was 60-150 kg,and its components of anise oil was met the requirements of GB/T15068-94.[Conclusion] The study can provide reference for development and utilization of Illicium verum Hook.f.germplasm resources.
