The present application relates to the technical field of
plant cultivation, and specifically discloses a method for crossbreeding of
Tagetes erecta.The method for crossbreeding of
Tagetes erecta comprises the following steps: (1) trimming the top of the calyx to the same level, and removing the petals of the ligulate flowers that exceed the calyx; (2)
cutting the bottom of the flower
bud, and removing a part of the flower
bud to form a gap for exposing the small flowers in the remaining flower
bud; the sequence of steps (1) and (2) is not limited; (3) cleaning all the small flowers carrying stamens from the gap; if the female parent only includes ligulate flowers, the small flowers refer to the ligulate flowers; if the female parent includes ligulate flowers and tubular flowers, the small flowers refer to the ligulate flowers and the tubular flowers.The method is simple in operation, time-saving and labor-saving, low in cost, and does not depend on male-sterile dual-purpose lines, and can quickly obtain
hybrid species among
Tagetes erecta
germplasm resources.
