菊苣种质资源研究进展

Research progress on germplasm resources of Cichorium intybus

菊苣(Cichorium intybus)属于多年生宿根植物,是菊科的一种重要牧草,具有产量高、适口性好、蛋白质含量高、适应性强、对土质要求不严、耐寒、耐热、抗干旱等优良特性,可将菊苣和粮食作物进行间种,解决牧草种植与粮食作物争地问题。近年来,菊苣在我国的高海拔地区已被广泛运用。从形态学、细胞学和分子水平上综述了菊苣种质资源的遗传多样性研究概况,在此基础上探讨了菊苣转基因研究、品种选育和栽培利用以及菊苣产品的开发利用情况,针对目前菊苣研究中存在的问题提出了几点建议。

Chicory（Cichorium intybus）,a perennial plant,is an important forage from Compositae with satisfying palatability,high yield,high protein content,strong adaptability to cold,heat and drought.It could be inter-cropped with cereal crops to resolve the competition in farmland shortage problem.In recent years,chicory has been widely grown in alpine areas in China.The research progress on genetic diversity,morphology,cytology,molecular,transgenic breeding were reviewed.And the suggestions for further research work were provided as well.
