海南红树林群系及分子生物技术在其研究中的应用

The formation and the applications of molecular biotechnology on mangrove plants in Hainan Province

红树林是生长在热带亚热带海岸潮间带的木本植物群落。海南红树林是中国种类最多,分布和保存面积最大的区域之一,具有极为重要的研究价值。综述了海南红树林在种类、群落组成及红树林资源引种恢复以及分子生物技术等方面的研究,重点综述了分子生物技术在海南红树林植物研究中的应用,包括等位酶的应用、随机扩增多态DNA技术(RAPD)的应用和红树林植物耐盐性研究。

Mangroves are woody plant communities which grow in the intertidal zones on tropical and subtropical coasts. Hainan Province is one of the largest areas of the mangrove plant species, distribution and preservation in China. The mangrove plants in Hainan Province have very important status and research value in China or even in the world. In this paper, several respects of mangroves research in Hainan Province are reviewed, such as mangrove species, the composition of the mangrove communities, the introduction and resume of mangrove plants, and the applications of molecular biotechnology in mangrove plants. And the applications of molecular biotechnology in mangrove plants are mainly summarized, including the application of the allozyme technique and random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD), and the research on salt tolerance of mangrove plants.
