Anthurium andraeanum， originating from the rainforests regions of South America， is a herbaceous plant valued for its beautiful flowers and leaves. Its rich colors and unique flower morphology have made it highly popular worldwide. However， problems such as reproductive barriers and complex genetic background in Anthurium andraeanum have greatly hindered its breeding procgress. Traditional breeding methods are difficult to effectively solve the problems of long growth cycle and poor stress resistance. Transgenic technology， especially gene editing technology， is expected to overcome these barriers. This review summarizes recent research progress of hybrid breeding， mutation breeding， ploidy breeding and genetically modified breeding of Anthurium. It also analyzes the main problems still present in current breeding efforts. In addition， this study explores the potential application of the rapidly developed CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology in germplasm innovation and variety improvement of Anthurium， providing insights for future breeding. It is hoped that the integration of transgenic and gene editing breeding technologies with conventional breeding methods will enhance Anthurium breeding techniques， and creat more high-quality Anthurium germplasm resources in the future.
