甘肃药用植物资源区域分布特征及保护利用

甘肃生态环境复杂多样,孕育了丰富的药用植物资源和大量独特的地道药材,中药材资源、产量均居全国前列。但由于投入严重不足、科技力量薄弱、研发能力较低、产品质量不高、开发保护和基地建设滞后等原因,资源优势没有形成产业优势。只有通过加大管理和保护力度,稳定和丰富中药材资源;加大扶持、服务、技术公关和资金投入力度,推进规范化种植和基地建设,促进中草药规模化、产业化;加强地道中药材原产地保护,提升甘肃中药材产业竞争力,实现甘肃药用植物资源的永续利用和可持续发展。     

Cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants for specialty industrial materials

Specialty materials such as essential oils, pharmaceuticals, colorants, dyes, cosmetics and biocides are obtained from plants. Many species of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are cultivated for such industrial uses, but most are still wild collected. The need for renewable sources of industrial products as well as the need to protect plant biodiversity creates an opportunity for farmers to produce such crops. The production of plants as raw material for fine chemicals is different than cultivation of ornamental or food crops. This review attempts to give an overview of the use of MAPs in various industries, as well as trends in the various markets involved. Economic and regulatory issues relevant for such uses of MAP material are also discussed, with a focus on the situation in the European Union. The aim is to provide information to potential producers to help identify interesting MAPs for cultivation.     

Effect of irrigation frequency and planting density on herbage biomass and oil production of thyme (Thymus vulgaris) and hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)

An experiment was undertaken to determine the herbage biomass and oil production of thyme (Thymus vulgaris Linn.) and hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis Linn.) in 2003 and 2004 in the semi-arid region of Khorasan in Iran. The experiment was a split plot with three irrigation intervals as main plots and three planting densities as subplots, all of which replicated three times. Irrigation intervals consisted of 7, 14, and 21 days for both crops and planting densities of 6.6, 8, and 10 (plants m⁻²) for thyme and 5, 6.6, and 8 (plants m⁻²) for hyssop. Different planting densities were employed by changing planting distances on cultivation rows. Herbage biomass and oil production of shoots, harvested at flowering were measured as annual production of each crop. Irrigation intervals did not change total harvested herbage biomass and oil production of both crops. Averaged across both years of the experiment, thyme produced higher oil than hyssop. Both crops produced higher biomass and oil in the second year of the experiment compared to the first year. While thyme plants biomass and oil production were lower at the highest planting density, hyssop plants showed no response to planting density. Herbage biomass and oil production of hyssop did not show a clear trend in response to interaction of irrigation intervals and planting densities in both years of the experiment. Our results showed that there is a high potential for saving water through longer irrigation intervals (e.g. 14 days) using locally adapted plants in the semi-arid conditions of Khorasan. These crops serve as alternative sources of income in dry years.

一种新的药用真菌--瓦尼木层孔菌(杨黄)

瓦尼木层孔菌(杨黄)是一种新的药用真菌发现在吉林省长白山地区，它属于担子菌门的锈革孔菌科。由于它生长在杨树上，且子实层表面为黄色，故当地人称之为杨黄。本文对该菌进行了详细介绍。     

5个枇杷晚熟品种果实氨基酸组成和含量分析

为了探讨白肉枇杷和红肉枇杷果实的风味和营养品质的差异,利用氨基酸自动分析仪测定了5个晚熟枇杷品种果实的氨基酸含量。结果表明,新白1号枇杷果实中天门冬氨酸和谷氨酸等鲜味类氨基酸含量占总氨基酸的53.9%,明显高于红肉枇杷中的含量;而红肉枇杷的甜味类氨基酸和芳香类氨基酸含量略高于白肉枇杷。白肉枇杷中药用氨基酸含量高于红肉枇杷,而红肉枇杷符合氨基酸模式谱的指标多于白肉枇杷。     

Enhanced micropropagation of Dendrobium huoshanense C.Z. Tang et S.J. Cheng through protocorm-like bodies: The effects of cytokinins,carbohydrate sources and cold pretreatment

The effects of cytokinins, carbohydrate sources and cold pretreatment on the conversion of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) to shoots were investigated for the enhancement of micropropagation of Dendrobium huoshanense C.Z. Tang et S.J. Cheng, an endangered medicinal plant in China. The effects of cytokinins and carbohydrate sources on the conversion of PLBs to shoots depended on their types and concentrations. The best results in terms of shoot development from PLBs occurred on 1/2 MS medium supplemented with 20 μM kinetin and 10 g l⁻¹ maltose. Cold pretreatment at 10 °C for 1–2 weeks significantly enhanced the conversion of PLBs to shoots, and over 1300 shoots were obtained from one gram of PLBs after 3 months of culture. The developed shoots were rooted on growth regulator-free MS medium supplemented with 8 g/l banana paste to give complete plantlets, which were successfully acclimatized with a survival rate of approximately 65%. The results indicate that a suitable cold pretreatment (10 °C for 1 week) followed by the use of 20 μM kinetin and 10 g/l maltose in 1/2 MS medium would produce a large number of shoots from PLBs for plantlet regeneration of D. huoshanense.

苍耳等药用植物提取物对小菜蛾的拒食作用和产卵忌避效果

室内采用叶碟法,研究苍耳(Xanthium sibiricumPetril)等8种药用植物乙醇提取物对小菜蛾(Plutel-la xylostella)的拒食和产卵忌避活性。结果表明,苍耳(果实)、雷公藤(根)和商陆(根)乙醇提取物对小菜蛾4龄幼虫的取食均有较强的抑制作用,选择性拒食率分别为86.16%、49.06%和43.82%;非选择性拒食效果仍以苍耳(果实)提取物最好,达45.23%。选择性产卵忌避率以雷公藤(根)提取物为最高(69.52%),其次是苍耳(果实)和山苍树(枝叶)提取物,分别为62.50%和57.72%,雷公藤(根)、商陆(根)、窃衣(茎叶)和苍耳(果实)的非选择性产卵忌避作用均在77%以上。苍耳和雷公藤提取物在对小菜蛾的拒食和产卵忌避的各测试中,均表现较强活性。
