Abstract: Germplasm resources of peach provide a solid material foundation for breeding new varieties of peach. Core collection is a new concept and technique of using a minimum of accessions to represent a maximum of the genetic diversity in the whole collection. Considering the disadvantages existed such as the invalid collections, large plantation area and high cost of management, therefore, it is urgently necessary to establish core collection of peach, based on the information of passport data,evaluation data, and part of characterization data being got in the former reports.
