蘆筍之遺傳學及細胞遺傳學之研究

Studies of Genetics and Cytogenetics of Asparagus officinalis L.

儘管籚筍栽培在臺灣僅僅只有短短的十餘年歷史，但如今已成為臺灣外銷重要的經濟作物。雖然有關方面十分注重蘆荀的研究，但大部分的研究偏重於籚筍栽培。對於最基本的遺傳學及細胞遺傳方面的知識則不多，以致許多研究徒勞無功，本文之目的，僅就過去有關遺傳及細胞遺傳學方面之資料加以整理分類，以供有關學者參考俾對臺灣蘆筍生產事業之發展有所幫助。

In recent years, Republic of China has become a very important asparagus producing and exporting country in the world. Although there were many investigations and research work on asparagus, most of these dealt with commercial production .Problems of genetics or cytogenetics were seldom studied, thus papers on these problems were scarce. The purpose of this review is t o present the studies on the variation and inhertance in Asparagus officinalis from the genetic and cytogenetic standpoint. Research in this aspect should be essential to our asparagus industry.
