Abstract:

To explores the interannual stability of main traits for Camellia oleifera Abel. and provide reference for regional cultivars evaluation and screening, 25 cultivars(clones) were selected to study the annual changes of 9 main traits, including initial time of flowering, blooming stage, yield, single fresh fruit weight(single fruit weight), ratio of seed to fresh fruit, single seed weight, ratio of dry kernel to seed, oil rate of kernel, oleic acid content, for three consecutive years from 2020 to 2022. The interannual variation characters of different traits were analyzed and interannual stability of different cultivars were evaluated by grey relation analysis. The result showed that the different cultivars showed obviously different traits on initial time of flowering and blooming stage, and the interannual coefficient of variation(CV) of initial time of flowering and blooming stage were 14.00%-84.84% and 0-62.73%, respectively. And a significant correlation was found between the initial time of flowering and the blooming stage. The earlier the initial of flowering, the shorter the blooming stage; the later the initial of flowering stage, the longer the blooming stage. The yield was also obviously different and the interannual CV was between 15.51% and 128.21%, the average value was 60.43%; The average interannual CV of single fruit weight, ratio of seed to fresh fruit, single seed weight, and ratio of dry kernel to seed were 23.17%, 9.78%, 37.35% and 5.41%, respectively. The oil rate of kernel and oleic acid content of 25 clones were 36.30%-53.08% and 77.97%-82.90%, and their average interannual CV were 11.77% and 3.56%, respectively. And significant correlations were found among the traits. The average interannual CV of 9 traits was ranked as follows: yield>initial time of flowering, blooming stage, single seed weight>single fruit weight>ratio of seed to fresh fruit, the oil rate of kernel>ratio of dry kernel to seed>oleic acid content. CL55, CL53, and CL21 had the best interannual stability, while GL12, GL9, and XL27 had the worst interannual stability.
