Abstract: Since 1980s, the artificial breeding and cultivation of Aralia elata has made some achievements at home and abroad. Starting from the breeding methods ofA. elata , the authors reviewed relevant literatures, summarized the research status of three major reproduction methods, including seed reproduction, root cutting reproduction and tissue culture reproduction, and pointed out the best scheme of artificial reproduction techniques ofA. elata. Meanwhile, the authors proposed further research directions: (1) to optimize parameters of the artificial reproduction technology and make the corresponding technical regulations; (2) to cultivate new stingless varieties ofA. elata , and solve problems of thorny, easy to grow old and inconvenient to harvest, so as to improve yield and quality; (3) to establish the asexual rapid reproduction technology system, speed up the seedling breeding of the new varieties, and realize production and application of the new varieties as soon as possible.
