Abstract: Advances in polyploidy breeding of woody plants is reviewed according to several factors, including polyploidy breeding resources, approaches and identification. Compared with polyploidy breeding of crops, that of woody plants remains superior because of the abundant species resources and asexual propagation, though there are limitations.

Key words: Woody plant, Polyploidy breeding, Breeding resources
