摘　　要：人类对野生药用植物资源不加限制地开采使得其遗传多样性受到了严重的破坏,药用植物的大规模规范化种植不仅可有效缓解这一矛盾,同时还能解决中药材产品加工过程中与质量不稳定因素有关的诸多问题。传统的育种方法结合分子标记辅助育种技术已培育出了许多优质的中草药品种,在药用植物组织培养和利用遗传转化等生物工程技术改造其活性成分的代谢途径等方面也取得了很大的进展。为了进一步推广药用植物的规范化种植,还亟需对中草药市场需求进行合理地预测以及正确引导人们对草药制品的消费观念。Harvesting herbals from the wild is causing loss of its genetic diversity, domestic cultivation is a viable alternation and offers the opportunity to overcome the problems that are inherent in herbal extracts. Conventional plant - breeding methods can improve both agronomic and medicinal traits, and molecular marker assisted breeding will be used increasingly. There has been significant progress in the use of tissue culture and genetic transformation to alter pathways for the biosynthesis of target metabolites. Obstacles to bringing medicinal plants into successful commercial cultivation include the difficulty of predicting which extracts will remain marketable and the likely market preference for what is seen as naturally sourced extracts.
