摘　　要：Dear Editor,Pinellia Tenore,a small genus of the monocot family Araceae,consists of only nine perennial herbaceous species and is mainly distributed in East Asia[1].Pinellia plants have been widely used as herbal medicines in Asia for over 2000 years.Among these species,P.ternata and P.pedatisecta are most widely used as traditional medicinal herbs[2].In China,the medicinal utilization of P.ternata and P.pedatisecta was first documented in the Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica(Chinese name:‘Shennong Bencao Jing’)during the Eastern Han dynasty(25–250 AD).Tubers produced by these plants have been traditionally utilized to treat vomiting,infection,and inf lammation[3].Modern pharmacological studies have indicated that the pharmacological effects of Pinellia plants are closely related to endogenous components,such as plant lectins,alkaloids,amino acids,nucleosides,and polysaccharides[2].P.ternata has been listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia as a common traditional Chinese medicine.However,to date no genomic resources have been reported in the genus Pinellia,which greatly limits further studies on this valuable resource.
