Regeneration of ornamental plants: current status and prospects

For horticulture to meet the needs of global markets, the reproduction and breeding of ornamental plants is allimportant. Nevertheless, certain ornamental plants exhibit a lower capacity for explant regeneration when compared to model plants. These challenges hinder the rapid propagation, virus-free breeding, and molecular breeding of ornamental plants. This paper examines both traditional and emerging plant regeneration technologies and discusses the difficulties ornamental plants encounter during the regeneration process. It also provides an outlook on the applications of emerging technologies in ornamental plant regeneration. This study will provide insights into the industrialization and practical application of molecular tools in ornamental plant breeding.
