Abstract: The paper aims to study how to cultivate the new forest varieties by the somatic fusion technology. For this purpose, the recent 10 years’ research on the protoplast culture, somatic fusion technology and its application in forest breeding were summarized. Through the analysis of previous studies, it was found that the research on protoplast culture of forest had gained great progress in the material selection, dissociation and culture, and the research on somatic fusion technology had also achieved positive results on the fusion method and the selection of somatic hybrids. But the related research was still insufficient. In the future, it is necessary to carry out the in-depth study on forest somatic fusion technology in the perspective of fusion species, influencing factors and physiological and biochemical mechanism.
