Abstract

The genus Lilium consists of approximately 100 species that are distributed throughout the cold and temperate parts of the Northern Hemisphere. It is subdivided into seven sections: Martagon, Pseudolirium, Lilium, Archelirion, Sinomartagon, Leucolirion, and Oxypetalum. The main species are described with their characteristics. The role of these species in the breeding of lilies is presented in an updated crossing polygon. Lily is a model crop for interspecific hybridization studies resulting in a range of techniques such as pollination methods to overcome inhibition of pollen tubes in the style, embryo rescue methods to prevent embryo abortion, and polyploidization methods to overcome F1 sterility. The use of meiotic and mitotic polyploidization for obtaining polyploids and the application of genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) proved the importance of intergenomic recombination for introgression of characters. Molecular breeding has not been implemented in actual breeding yet. Progress is made in the development of markers for breeding of Lilium. Especially the development of massive parallel sequencing methods known as NGS sequencing and the availability of high-throughput marker systems resulted in new genetic maps of lily with markers closely linked to resistance genes (LMoV and Fusarium). During the last 50 years, lily has become worldwide one of the most important flower bulbs and cut flowers. They are mainly cultivated in the Netherlands with bulb production acreage of more than 5000 ha. The assortment of lilies consists of thousands of polyploid cultivars which can be classified in different established hybrid groups (Asiatic, LA, OT, OA, LO, Longiflorum, and Oriental). Recently the double-flowered lilies are a new development.
