Abstract:
Zhongyan 201 (CF964), a new male-sterile hybrid variety, was developed from MSK326 as female and Zhongyan98 as male parent. Identification of botanical character, agronomical character, disease resistance, appearance quality, internal quality and regional adaptability demonstration tests showed that Zhongyan 201 converged the advantages of those of both parents. Its growth potential and resistance had heterosis, leaf yield, quality, resistance of the variety were coordinated, and economical benefit was similar to K326. Zhongyan 201 can be planted in most of flue-cured tobacco regions in China.
