世界薯蓣科植物属的分类及分布

Genus Classification and Geographical Distribution of Dioscoreaceae in World

薯蓣科植物有的种类根茎可药食兼用,有的种类含薯蓣皂甙和薯蓣毒皂甙,是制药工业的重要原料,经济价值较高,但其医药和化工价值仅被西方少数发达国家掌握。为了打破西方少数发达国家的垄断,贵州省曾组织调查小组对全省薯蓣植物进行历时3年的调查。在部分实地考察及对大量相关资料收集的基础上,从形态特征、属的分类、地理分布和经济用途等方面进行了系统论述。

The rhizomes of some species in Dioscoreaceae can be used as vegetables and medicines. Some species containing dioscin and poisonous dioscin can be used as the important raw materials in pharmacy industry, which indicates that these species are of higher economic value. The value of medicine and chemical engineering was mastered by the minority western developed countries. The Dioscoreaceae resources in Guizhou were investigated by the survey team organized by Guizhou Province from 1969 to 1971 to break the monopolization of the minority western developed countries. The morphological characteristics, genus classification, geographical distribution and economic use of Dioscoreaceae resources are systematically reviewed based on part on-the-spot investigation and a large number of related data collecting.
