中国荞麦种质资源及其饲用价值

荞麦(Fagopyrum)是我国传统的食药两用植物,兼具优良的饲用价值。目前,荞麦栽培品种经过培育和演变形成了多种多样的类型,在我国西南部地区亦蕴藏着丰富的野生荞麦种质资源。本文介绍了荞麦种质资源及在我国的分布情况、栽培荞麦的种类和栽培范围,荞麦种质资源的研究进展、应用价值等,着重分析了荞麦,尤其是野生金荞麦作为饲草在营养、产量、适口性以及环境友好性等方面的优势,揭示出饲用荞麦的应用价值和未来的发展潜力。对当前荞麦领域存在的问题进行了综合性探讨,指出今后荞麦研究工作的重点应放在新的野生资源的挖掘及饲用荞麦的开发利用之上。

Germplasm resources of buckwheat in China and their forage value

Buckwheat is a traditional edible and medical plant, with substantial forage value.A variety of types of cultivated buckwheat has formed through cultivation and evolution.Currently, the germplasm resources of buckwheat are considerably rich in south-western China, and have attracted worldwide attention.In this paper, the types of buckwheat germplasm resources, and their distribution, the species and the scopes of cultivated buckwheat, and utilization value of them were summarized, with emphatically analyzed the advantages of buckwheat as a forage grass, especially the Fagopyrum cymosum, innutrition, yield, palatability and environmental friendliness, revealing the application value and the development potential of buckwheatas a forage grass.We also comprehensively discussed the problems facing the buckwheat research field in China, pointing out that the focus of the buckwheat research work should be on the excavation of wild buckwheat resources and the exploitation of buckwheat as a forage grass.
