Since 2015，the national Eucommia ulmoides （EU）innovation team led by the Non-timber Forest Research and Development Center of Chinese Academy of Forestry，has made new breakthroughs and some important achievements with better industrialization prospects of EU breeding project. More than 1300 EU germplasms were collected from the whole country，Japan，the United States and some other places，and the largest EU germplasm library was established around the world；the EU germplasms evaluation system for different uses was established；and the EU breeding population with a total of 226 excellent germplasms were constructed，including 117 accessions for fruit utilization，56 accessions for male flower utilization，50 accessions for medicine（bark，wood） utilization，22 accessions for leaf utilization；the core collection of EU with 79 germplasms was constructed，which included 33 male core germplasms and 46 female core germplasms；more than 100 excellent clones were selected，five new varieties named ‘Huazhong 11’‘Huazhong 12’‘Huazhong 13’‘Huazhong 14’ and ‘Huazhong 15’ were granted the Plant Variety Rights in 2016，which was the first group obtained the Plant Variety Rights of EU new varieties. Five new varieties all have very special economic traits and better industrialization prospects. ‘Huazhong 16’‘Huazhong 17’and‘Huazhong 18’were certified as Henan improved forest variety in 2016. This is a new batch of EU improved varieties with high EU rubber（linolenic acid） content of our country in recent years，these varieties feature with early fruiting，high yield and strong resistance，also have high rubber content in pericarp and high linolenic acid content of crude fat in seeds，which could provide excellent resources for the construction of orchard demonstration base of EU improved variety. The large-scale popularization of these improved varieties will effectively promote the process of EU improved varieties，and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the EU rubber and important woody oil industries.
