藤黄科植物是极其重要的药用、食用植物资源，其中藤黄类产品是国际市场上最畅销和最受欢迎的保健品、辅助食品和食物增补剂，藤黄属提取物是美国市场最受欢迎的6种植物提取物之一，然而，我国科学界尚缺少对这类重要植物资源的全面调查，尤其缺乏最关键的民族植物学线索和有价值的评价信息，严重制约藤黄科植物的保护和可持续利用。本项目在前期研究积累的基础上，采用民族植物学、植物资源学、植物化学、代谢组学等方法和手段，在9个主产区对9个少数民族和汉族传统管理和利用藤黄科植物的传统知识进行深入调查，选择藤黄属、金丝桃属和黄牛木属10个种共30个样品进行化学成分及生物活性的研究，科学评价藤黄科植物的传统用途，探讨不同部位间活性成分存在差异的规律，并提出保护和发展对策，为藤黄科植物资源的可持续利用提供科学依据、重要线索和技术储备。发表论文15篇，其中8篇发表在SCI收录期刊，申请专利3项，培养人才4-6名。

Clusiaceae is a family with very important plant resources. For example, the Garcinia products are the best-selling health products and food supplements in international markets. The Garcinia extracts have been listed in top six in American markets. Unfortunately, few investigations had been conducted in China, especially the key ethnobotanical clues or valuable evaluation information lacked, which have strongly restricted the conservation and sustainable uses of Clusiaceae plants. Based on previous studies, the proposed project will investigate and document the traditional knowledge of managing and using Clusiaceae resources among 9 ethnic groups and the Han Chinese in 9 major distribution provinces through the approaches of ethnobotany, phytochemistry, metabolomics and other methods. The significant resources from 3 genera (Garcinia, Hypericum and Cratoxylum) including 30 samples in 10 species will be selected for phytochemical and pharmacological studies. The traditional uses of Clusiaceae plants will be examined, and the distribution law of bioactive compounds in different parts will be argued. The strategies for conservation and development of Clusiaceae will be proposed. The research results will provide scientific basis, important clues and technical pools in support of sustainable development of plant resources in Clusiaceae. Fifteen papers will be published, in which 8 papers should be indexed or covered by Science Citation Index database, while 3 patents will be applied. Young talents with 4-6 people will be trained or educated from the proposed project.
