罗汉果种质资源及培育技术研究进展

Advance in germplasm resources and cultural techniques of Siraitia grosvenorii

罗汉果为单性、雌雄异株的葫芦科罗汉果属多年生藤本植物,是特产于我国南部的重要经济植物,其果实是传统的常用大宗中药材之一,果实中还含有一种低热量的天然甜味剂。在罗汉果野生资源日益匮乏与人类对罗汉果需求量日益增长的今天,罗汉果种质资源的培育备受关注,栽培罗汉果已成为人们关注的重要领域。综述了近年来关于罗汉果种质资源生态习性、生物学特性、繁殖方法、田间管理、采收加工及生物技术的应用等方面的研究进展,以期为提升罗汉果资源的人工培育水平积累基础资料,进而为提高我国人工栽培罗汉果的产量与质量,为推进罗汉果培育产业化发展提供技术。

Luohanguo [Siraitia grosvenorii （Swingle） C. Jeffrey ex Lu et Z. Y. Zhang], a dioecious and perennial vine plant from Siraitia of Cucurbitaceae, is an important economical endemic specie to Southern China. Its fruit, so called ＂Luohanguo＂, has long been used as a traditional Chinese medicine. Tile fruit is very sweet as it contains low-caloric sweeteners known as mogrosides. More attention has been paid on artificial culturing of Luohanguo resources because of the wild resources deficiency and human demand increasing ceaselessly. In this paper, the research progress on the germplasm resources and cultural techniques in recent years were reviewed in terms of the ecological habit of gennplsm resources, propogation methods, management in growth period, harvest methods and biotechnology application in culture. It aims to provide technical quality and quantity of artificially cultured S. grosvenorii.
