基因工程技术在药用植物育种研究中的应用

Gene engineering technology in the research of medicinal plant breeding

随着药用植物基因工程技术的快速发展,在提高药用植物抗病性和抗逆性、提高药用植物的有效成分含量、改善药材品质等方面的研究也越来越多,对中药现代化和可持续性发展具有重要意义。但转基因药用植物的安全性,药用价值是否改变等尚存争议,因此建立一套适用于转基因药用植物的安全性评价体系和判断标准,有利于促进基因工程技术在药用植物育种研究中的应用。

Along with the rapid development of gene engineering technology for medicinal plants, it is more and more used to improve the disease resistance, insect resistance, herbicides resistant ability in medicinal plants. It also can increase the content of active substances in medicinal plants, and improve the quality of medicinal plants. It has important significance for the modernization and sustainable development of Chinese medicine. However, it is controversial about the safety of transgenic medicinal plants. So a set of safety evaluation and judgment standards suitable for transgenic medicinal plants should be established to promote the application of gene engineering technology in the research of medicinal plant breeding.
