Abstract: Apricot (Prunus Armeniaca), originated in China, has rich germplasm. The apricot research progress in recent 5 years is reviewed in the paper, including the origin of apricot, genetic structure and diversities of populations of Prunus Armeniaca L. in ILy River Valley, XinJiang, evaluation on aroma compounds, pollination biology and frozen resistance, distant hybridization and creating new germplasm of apricot, inheritance and variation of S-gene, yields and quantity components among F1 progenies, and breeding and selection new cultivars. It is proposal to construct multi-level system of protection and conservation apricot in ILy River Valley, XinJiang and protect the rare resources practically. Some research programmes need to be studied in this field in the future were suggested.
