植物人工种子研究进展

在我国高技术的发展规划中,生物技术是被重视的首领技术之一。植物人工种子正是在创建中的生物技术,由于其具有重大的实践意义和经济价值,目前美国、日本、法国等都相继地开展了此方面的广泛研究,并在胡萝卜、芹菜、苜蓿、花椰菜、西红柿等植物中获得成功。我国从事此方面研究很少,从1985年开始中科院植物所探索了西洋参、玉米、芹菜等植物人工种子的研究,取得可喜成绩。本文阐述植物人工种子发展历程,人工种子的概念,使用的可行性,优越性及对人工种子技术发展中现存的问题,前景给以了乐观的估计。

ADVANCES IN PLANT ARTIFICIAL SEEDS RESEARCH

This paper gave a comment on the advances of plant artificial seeds research at home and abroad. At the same time, the author also pointed out the existing problems in this field and possible accesses to them, and cast a good light on its concept, developmental process and tendency, advantages over zygoted seeds, feasibility of artificial seed application and thought that: to develop artificial seeds rapidly and transfer them into commercial goods quickly. It is urgent for researchers to study deeply the techology of somatic embryo quality and its wrapping systems.
