药用植物资源之开发与利用

2007/12/28 12:03:00

为配合行政院卫生署发展药用与保健植物之政策,本计画将以传统医药典籍常用药用与保健植物为主,利用各种公、私管道,积极引进国内外药用与保健植物之种原,进行繁殖与观察,同时建立植株形态、有效成份、医药利用、生长习性、栽培条件、田间性状与初步产量等资料,供为进一步开发与利用药用与保健植物资源之参考。本研究针对70种药用植物进行种原搜集、繁殖与评估,尤其注重柴胡、紫草、枸杞及山药等研究。

  此外,将在本所建立药用与保健植物种原库一处,种子及无性繁殖苗将进行长期保存。种原库内分成长期库、中期库及短期库三区,个别之保存条件为长期库 -12 + 2 0C30 + 3 % RH,中期库-2+ 2 0C 40+ 3% RH,短期库 10 + 2 0C 40 + 3 % RH。于长期库中种子之贮藏寿命可达3050年,如此将能妥善地保存药用植物之种原,及适时规划适当的利用计画。


  在大量繁殖方面,将利用有性繁殖如种子播种或无性繁殖如扦插、压条、嫁接与组织培养等技术进行大量繁殖。繁殖之种苗将试种于本所温室、农田或药园中,进行初步观察及评估,以为生产质量俱优药材之根据,期早日达到国产药材自给自足之目标。另将利用各种形态或生化特征等鉴定基原,并拍摄相关药用植物之照片,以供参考。

Title:Development and Utilization of Medicinal Plant Resources


Orgazination:Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute


Auther:Sin-yie Liu


  As a policy of the Department of Health, Executive Yuan, Republic of China, to develop and utilize medicinal plant in Taiwan, Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute (TARI) has strengthened on the collection and preservation of medicinal plant germplasms. Propagation and investigation of characteristics, yield and utilization potentiality of these materials are continuously in progress. A total of 70 species has been collected, observed and evaluated at TARI in the past year. The most important species included Bupleurum spp., Dioscorea spp., Lithospermum erythrorhizon, and Lycium halimifolium etc. <


  After cultivation of collected medicinal plants on field nursery at TARI, processed seeds are sent to the storage area, including the short-term room, medium-term room, and long-term room, with storage conditions of 10 + 2 OC and 40 + 3% RH, 1 + 2 OC and 40 + 3% RH, and -12 + 2 OC and 30 + 3% RH, respectively. The clonal germplasms will be stored on field nursery or by tissue culture techniques. Morphological and genetic studies on the important materials are parts of this study.
