Interdisciplinary Study of Ephedra plants in Asia

本年度对巴基斯坦、内蒙古自治区、新疆维吾尔自治区的野生麻黄植物和宁夏回族自治区麻黄植物的耕地进行了调查。Mikage和Takahashi在6月28日至7月13日期间对巴基斯坦进行了调查。金泽大学名誉教授兼卡拉奇大学客座教授Tsuda博士指导我们进行搜索。在巴基斯坦北部的Aria，我们在18个不同的地点采集了18个标本。新疆维吾尔自治区的调查由金泽大学博士生龙长峰先生在Mikage教授的指导下进行。调查结束后，Mikage和两位合作者（其中一位的费用由COE承担）在重庆与他们会合，我们对调查结果进行了检验。在重庆调研结束后，我们在8月12日开始了内蒙古的死亡调查。在北京大学蔡少青教授的帮助下，我们去北京租了一辆面包车。Mikage及其合作者（费用已报销）于2010年9月8日至15日对宁夏回族自治区主要栽培麻黄植物进行了调查。通过这些调查，我们可以在调查地点收集到许多麻黄植物标本。测量了这些地点的经纬度和海拔高度，并收集了DNA分析样本。有时，我们确实从当地居民那里听到了麻黄资源的情况。我们调查了耕地上生长的杂草。从我们今年获得的结果来看，我们发现了以下有趣的发现：(1)巴基斯坦麻黄植物资源仍然丰富。有些麻黄属植物生长在中国的海滨。(3)麻黄种植最亟待解决的问题是杂草的防治和灌溉。对调查所得的麻黄属植物进行了分类学、解剖学、植物化学和分子生物学等方面的研究。少

The current year, we surveyed the wild Ephedra plants in Pakistan, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as well as cultivated land of the plants in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.The survey of Pakistan was made by Mikage and Takahashi, from June 28^<th> through July 13^<th>. Dr Tsuda, the emeritus professor of Kanazawa University also the visiting professor of Karachi University, guided us during the search. In Northern Aria of Pakistan, we collected 18 specimens in 1 8 different sites. The survey of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region was conducted by Mr.Long Changfeng, a doctor course student of Kanazawa University under the direction of Professor Mikage. The end of the survey, Mikage and two collaborators(the expence of one of them was covered by COE) were joined them in Chongching, and we examined the result of the survey. After the research in Chongching, we started die survey in Inner Mongolia through August 12th. We went to Peking to rent a microbus by … More help of Professor Cai Shaoqing of Peking University. Mikage and a collaborator(expence was covered COE) surveyed mainly cultivated Ephedra plants in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from September 8^<th> through 15^<th>.By these surveys, we could collect many Ephedra plant specimens at the investigated sites. The latitude, longitude and altitude of the sites were measured and the samples for DNA analysis were collected. On occasion, we did hearing from local peoples about situation of resource of Ephedra. We investigated weeds grown in cultivated land.From the results we obtained this year, we found the following interesting findings ; (1)The resource of Ephedra plants in Pakistan is still rich. (2)Some Ephedra plants grow on the seashore in China. (3)The most urgent points to be solved for cultivation of Ephedra plant are control of weed and irrigation.We started taxonomical, anatomycal, phytochemical as well as molecular biological researches on the Ephedra plants which we obtained through the surveys.
