Abstract:
Research development of germplasm resources of Salvia miltiorrhiza was reviewed in the aspects of species resource, geographic distribution and varieties, biological characters and culture varieties, and cell and tissue culture. It was suggested that more attention be paid to waters-soluble constituents when evaluating the quality of the medicine, and much more basic studies be done in the course of establishing standard plant base for high quality herb and in the aspect of new variety selection.
