摘要： "8407"is a disease resistant germplasm of Chinese cabbage which is highly resis-tant to turnip mosaic virus (TuMV),selected by the Vegetable Institute,Hebei Academy of Agri-cultural and Forestry Sciences.In 1985 and 1989,it was approved and accepted as one of the na-tional disease resistant germplasm of Chinese cabbage by the National Expert Group.The identifi-cation in 1989 showed that"8407"was highly resistant or immune to 19 TuMV strains from 10provinces/cities across the country.Therefore,it was regarded as the best germplasm both verti-cally and horizontally resistant to TuMV of Chinese cabbage.This germplasm was selected fromChang Paodan (Inner Mongolia)of Qingmaye system after 6 generations of successive self cross.Using the disease resistant germplasm of"8407",we developed new multi-resistant varieties of"8361"and"8612"in 1983 and 1986 respectively,which was highly resistant to TuMV and downymildew and soft rot.These varieties have been extended to an areas of over 20000 ha.
