Abstract:Abstracts:The crosscompatibility and heterosis for seedtraits in Lagerstroemia indica were studied. The results were as follows. Firstly, the crosscompatibility was obviously different among species,individuals in the same species,mating systems and cross in mating systems.So the crosscompatibility should be considered in parent selection of cross breeding.The two cross systems of M×B and M×M had higher crosscompatibility, which could be used in hybrid production. In addition, reciprocal cross had different crosscompatibility, so it was important to select suitable parents in hybrid production.Secondly, compared with the germination rate of the mating systems of M×S and M×M, the average germination rate of the mating system of M×B increased by 20%~45%, while the average germinating energy increased by 44%~226%.These phenomena could be considered as early manifestation caused by selfdepressing.
