我国近代苜蓿生物学研究考述

Biological research on alfalfa in modern China

在近代,我国学者对苜蓿进行了较多的研究,这些研究成果虽距我们较近,但目前由于对其考证研究较少,我们多有不知。鉴于此,本研究在文献收集的基础上,对近代苜蓿生物学的研究成果进行梳理总结。结果表明,在近代,我国学者对古代苜蓿相关资料的考证较为全面丰富,并对苜蓿的起源、种类及根瘤固氮等方面进行了研究,对西北地区分布的紫苜蓿、天蓝苜蓿和小苜蓿等的标本进行了采集和鉴定,并对苜蓿根瘤菌进行了系统的研究,另外,还对苜蓿的生长习性和适应性及对水肥的要求进行了研究。此外,苜蓿生物学研究的成果和科技知识在相关期刊报纸等媒体上得到传播,同时也有不少专作出版。这些都为我国现代苜蓿的研究与苜蓿学科框架的构建奠定了基础。

Like research on other crops,research on alfalfa has developed rapidly in modern China.However,there is still much to learn about this important crop.We consulted a large body of literature to classify alfalfa varieties in China and summarize the history,cultivation,and use of this crop.Many studies have been conducted on the origins of alfalfa,the range of alfalfa species and varieties,and on the utilization of this crop.Some studies have compared different alfalfa species such as Medicagosativa,Medicago lupulina,and Medicago minima,and others have focused on the development of bacterial nodules on alfalfa in northwest China,as well as the habitat,adaptation,and moisture and fertilizer requirements of this important plant.Western science and technology and local studies have resulted in the rapid and widespread dissemination of scientific knowledge about alfalfa in relevant journals,newspapers,and other media.All of this information has laid the foundation for further research on alfalfa,and for the development of strategies to increase its cultivation and use in modern China.
