摘要:

由于长期过度采挖, 名贵濒危药用植物暗紫贝母(Fritillaria unibracteata)的野生资源日渐减少。为探究暗紫贝母在不同海拔尤其是低海拔地区的功能性状和鳞茎药用成分含量特点, 拓展人工种植区域, 缓解严峻的市场供需矛盾, 从高海拔(3 410 m)至低海拔(1 170 m)设置了5个海拔高度进行2年的野外盆栽实验。研究结果表明: 暗紫贝母的萌芽期、展叶期和开花期均随海拔降低而极显著提前; 而枯萎期则随海拔降低表现出先推迟后提前的特点; 生长季长度随海拔降低表现出先增加后减少的特征, 且在海拔3 080 m最长, 为(105.80 ± 4.87)天。株高和单叶面积随海拔降低呈现出先增加后减小的趋势; 比叶面积随海拔降低则表现出先减小后增大的特点。单株鳞茎生物量随海拔降低表现出先增加后减小的特征, 且在海拔3 080 m最大, 为(1.40 ± 0.29) g。鳞茎总生物碱和总皂苷含量随海拔降低均呈现出先减少后增加的趋势; 在海拔2 370 m及以上的区域内鳞茎总生物碱含量差异不显著, 且含量均高于0.07%。该研究发现, 适当降低暗紫贝母的种植海拔, 有助于延长生长季长度, 增加株高和叶面积, 促进鳞茎生物量积累。综合考虑鳞茎生物量和药用成分含量在不同海拔的差异, 适宜在2 370-3 080 m的低海拔地区开展暗紫贝母人工种植。

Abstract:

Aims The wild resources of Fritillaria unibracteata, a precious and endangered medicinal plant, have been severely depleted due to long-term over-exploitation. To identify optimal cultivation practices and expand its planting range, this study aims to investigate the plant’s functional traits and the medicinal component content in its bulbs across different altitudes.

Methods A two-year field pot experiment was conducted along an altitudinal gradient from 3 410 m to 1 170 m, with five specific altitude levels. We monitored phenological phases, measured morphological traits, and analyzed the contents of total alkaloids and total saponins in the bulbs.

Important findings The results showed that the germination stage, leaf spreading stage and flowering stage of F. unibracteata were highly significantly advanced with decreasing altitude. In contrast, the wilting stage was first delayed and then advanced, resulting in a growing season length that initially increased and then decreased, peaking at (105.80 ± 4.87) d at 3 080 m. Plant height and single leaf area exhibited a unimodal pattern, first increasing and then decreasing with lower altitude, while the specific leaf area showed a “U”-shaped trend (first decreasing and then increasing). The individual bulb biomass also followed a unimodal pattern, reaching its maximum (1.40 ± 0.29) g at 3 080 m. The contents of total alkaloids and total saponins in bulbs demonstrated a “U”-shaped response to decreasing altitude. Notably, no significant difference was found in the total alkaloid at and above 2 370 m, with all values exceeding 0.07%. In conclusion, moderately lowering the cultivation altitude to the range of 2 370-3 080 m can extend the growing season, improve vegetative growth, and enhance bulb biomass accumulation without compromising key medicinal component content, thus representing a suitable and recommended range for the artificial cultivation of F. unibracteata.
