| description | Zinnia species are among the most popular flowering plants worldwide owing to their diverse ornamental characteristics and economically valuable biological traits. Since the 18th century, the identification and selective breeding of wild species has resulted in the development of over 100 cultivars. However, information regarding Zinnia breeding remains highly fragmented, hindering the effective formulation of breeding strategies. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the germplasm resources of Zinnia, explores the genetic mechanisms underlying key traits such as flower color, flower type, stress resistance, and postharvest longevity, and thoroughly evaluates the current breeding methods and their practical applications. The objective is to establish a robust scientific foundation and propose innovative approaches for future breeding strategies, thereby facilitating the sustained development and advancement of Zinnia in the horticultural sector. |
