Abstract:
Rehmannia glutinosa is one of the most common bulk medicinal materials in China and it has a long history of medicinal use. In recent years, with the development of molecular biology, especially for the emergence of high-throughput sequencing technology, it not only provides new ways to identify R. glutinosa quickly, and reveal the genetic diversity and relationship of R. glutinosa, but also lays the vital foundation for explaining the mechanism on metabolism, root tuber growth, stress response and continuous cropping obstacles of R. glutinosa. The present paper reviews the recent study progress in molecular biology research of R. glutinosa from molecular systematics, molecular identification and functional genes, and puts forward three research prospects in order to provide a reference for further study on molecular biology of R. glutinosa.
