芝麻种质资源及相关分子生物学研究进展

芝麻是重要的优质传统油料作物,素有"油料皇后"的美称。我国拥有丰富的芝麻种质资源,深入研究、评价和有效利用芝麻种质资源是保护其遗传多样性、拓宽遗传基础进而提高芝麻产量和品质的关键。本文对芝麻种质资源的收集保存、鉴定评价、利用现状、品种选育概况及相关分子生物学研究进展进行综述,期望能对芝麻遗传及应用研究提供一些参考。

Advances in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Germplasm Resources and Molecular Biology Research

Sesame, an important traditional oil crop, is known as the queen of oilcrops for its high oil content and quality. China has rich sesame germplasm resources. In-depth study, evaluation and utilization of various sesame germplasm resources is of vital importance to protect its genetic diversity, to broaden the genetic basis and to improve sesame yield and quality. This paper reviewed the latest progresses of sesame germplasm research, such as germplasm collection, conservation and utilization, variety breeding, molecular genetics and functional genomics. We hope this paper can promote sesame genetic and application study .
