Anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum) is a popular tropical ornamental plant traded globally as cut-flowers, flowering potted plants, and landscape plants. Despite a cultivation history of less than a century, it boasts over 2,000 documented varieties. However, comprehensive information on anthurium breeding remains fragmented. This article aims to fill this gap by exploring the origins of modern anthurium, systematically organizing anthurium germplasm resources, summarizing molecular breeding resources (including transcriptomics and functional genes), detailing breeding methods, and addressing anticipated challenges and opportunities in anthurium breeding.
