OBJECTIVE: To study the regularity of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and to provide theoretic basis for cross breeding of G. uralensis. METHODS: The flowering sequence of G. uralensis was observed, as well as the correlation of flower external morphology and internal structure, flowering rush hour a day, flower blooming dynamics. At the same time, pollen-ovule ratio (P/O) and pollen viability at different flowering periods were determined. RESULTS: Flowers on main stem firstly bloomed, the opening order was bottom-up, and when three to five flowers bloomed, the lateral branch began to bloom, which order was also bottom-up. There was a closely correlation between the situation of pollen shedding and the size of banner blooming. 10:00-13:00 and 15:00- 18:00 were flowering rush hour. A flower from bloom to closed needed about 32 hours, wilting about after 35 hours. P/O=260.46, it was facultative xenogamy. When banner bloomed 2-5 mm, the pollen had the highest life force. CONCLUSIONS: The results can guide the sexual hybridization breeding of G. uralensis, and lay a good theoretical basis for its new varieties breeding.
