Abstract:Camellia oleifera is an important woody oil crop in China, and its seed oil has a high economic value. Anthracnose, one of the main diseases in C. oleifera, occurs in a wide range in the production areas, limiting the growth and development of plants and causing serious losses of oil production. With the rapid development of the C. oleifera industry in recent years, great progress has been achieved in the research on anthracnose in C. oleifera. This paper summarized the resistance mechanisms, the mining of resistance genes, and the evaluation of resistant germplasm resources, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of anthracnose and the breeding of C. oleifera germplasm with resistance to anthracnose.
