Features: The book is divided into six chapters, including field cultivation of medicinal plants, domestication and introduction of wild plants, cultivation of ethnic medicines, breeding of new varieties of medicinal plants, construction of wild cultivation bases for medicinal plants, and biotechnology in modern medicinal plant resource production. Field cultivation of medicinal plants is divided into four parts, introducing new technologies and methods for cultivating bulk and commonly used root and rhizome, flower and fruit, bulb and corm, and whole-plant types of medicinal plants, with a focus on pest and disease control that meets GAP (Good Agricultural Practice for medicinal materials) requirements. Domestication and introduction of wild plants mainly introduce several important southern medicinal plants and ginseng that have significant value in solving China's import resources, as well as detailed information on the domestication of Dendrobium. Ethnic medicines are an important part of traditional Chinese medicine and a gem of China's traditional medicine. This book introduces China's four major ethnic medicines—Tibetan medicine, Uyghur medicine, Mongolian medicine, and Dai medicine. The breeding of new varieties of medicinal plants is of great significance for improving the production level of medicinal plants and the implementation of GAP. This book combines the practice and characteristics of medicinal plant breeding, mainly introducing hybrid breeding, polyploid breeding, and space breeding methods. Additionally, the book provides detailed introductions to rapid propagation techniques for endangered medicinal plants, the use of plant cell culture to produce active ingredients, and the use of transgenic technology to produce active ingredients. This book is suitable for planting and production personnel in the Chinese herbal medicine industry, R&D personnel of medicinal plant resources, operators and inspectors of medicinal plant resources, as well as college and university teachers and students in related fields.
