Brief History of Ornamental Plant

Breeding in the Philippines

early 1920s breeding of Hibiscus by Dr.

Nemesio B. Mendiola (); results published from

1922 to 1931

1926 publication of a book A Manual of Plant

Breeding for the Tropics by Dr. Mendiola

1948 initiation of breeding at UPLB on

Mussaendaby Dr. Dioscoro L. Umali () and his

wife, Zenaida

1979 Anthurium hybridization by Dr.Teresita L. Rosario at UPLB

1984 breeding works on Aglaonema by

Dr. Romeo G. Gutierrez, a surgeon;

currently being revived by himself

1994 Hibiscus Breeding Program by Mr.Reynold B. Pimentel at IPB, then continued

by Dr. Pablito M. Magdalita in 2002 up to the

present.

The Philippines is considered as a global

biodiversity hotspot.

There are an estimated 13,500 plant

species, of which 8,000 are flowering plants

and about 3,200 (40%) endemic and the

rest are introduced into the country like the

gumamela botanically known as Hibiscus

rosa-sinensis.

Hibiscus Breeding and Selection


3/42

3

one of the most widely cultivated

flowering plants in the tropics

very easy to propagate and not

exacting in its requirements for

growth and flowering

attractive flowers are short-lived but

continuously produced throughout

the year used as potted plant, fence or

hedge plant and landscape shrub

The current boom in real estate development

occurring around the country and the need for

ornamentals for greening (green roof, green

building, green wall), landscaping and

environmental sustainability is an encouraging

sign of bright years for the ornamental industry

like the hibiscus.

Further, the value of ornamental hibiscus for

climate change adaptation such as those that

can stand less water, and those for health and

wellness like roselle (Hibiscus sabradiffa) that

are high in antioxidant is well recognized.

The diversity in the hibiscus germplasm

could be exploited by breeders for

developing novel varieties either for pot

plant production or landscaping

purposes.

It is so interesting that a change in one

character especially flower color or formalready makes a variety unique.

In hibiscus, this is generally achievable

using conventional hybridization, and

selection followed by propagation.

Regardless of the technique used to

develop an ornamental variety, the

attractiveness of color and form is of

prime requirement of a good variety.

The objectives of the hibiscus breedingprogram are to:

a) Hybridize local cultivars with foreign varieties,

b) Select new hybrids with unique flower colors

and form and leaf shapes,

c) Characterize, register to NSIC and release as

a variety
