摘要

Spathiphyllum (Common name—Peace Lilly) is one of the vital ornamental members of the family Araceae. It is the most sought-after living softscaping components for its green variegated foliage along with the creamish spadix subtended by the white spathe. For its white spathe’s hue, it is conventionally used as an emblem of purity, peace and strength. Despite possessing the aesthetically appealing attributes and physiological potency to mitigate indoor air pollution level, its rank is unlikely on par of Anthurium, another member of ornamental aroidAroids family. The zonal popularization and segmented commercial production may have dimmed its position. Consequently, that led to the dearth of scientific investigations on the concerned ornamental. The state-of-the-art of breedingBreeding progress in Spathiphyllumdemands the further emphasize on its breedingBreeding approaches especially on mutation breedingMutation breeding and implementation of high-throughput biotechnological aids targeting its further improvement. However, the research status of its in vitro propagationIn vitro propagation found satisfactory which evidences the need of production at commercial level and of supplying the pathogen-free plantlets rapidly. Summarily, the research based scientific consciousness may be founded to strengthen the gene pool base for beaconing the breedingBreeding prospects of Spathiphyllum.
