Abstract: Hawthorn is known as the“medicinal and edible”fruit with a long history in China. However, its new varieties are mainly produced by bud mutation and seedling selection. In order to discuss the crossbreeding of hawthorn, the study analyzes the researches on the crossbreeding of hawthorn at home and abroad. The flowering biology of hawthorn, the regulation of pollen germination, the reproductive biology, the necessary of crossbreeding, breeding method, parent selecting and the genetic rules of crossbreeding are introduce in detail. In addition, the future development and new trends in breeding Hawthorn are put forward, to provide a theoretical basis for future research.
