[Current researches and prospects of seedling propagation and cultivation modes of Jinxianlian].

In the wake of on-the-spot investigation into Chinese major production bases in Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Taiwan, Guangxi and Yunnan provinces, and based on relevant literature, the paper systematically elaborates the current researches of botanical origin, major cultivation type, seedling propagation technique as well as cultivation mode of Jinxianlian. The way of seedling breeding mainly includes aseptic seed culture, in vitro propagation, artificial seed and bioreactor propagation, etc. And the planting model mainly includes protected cultivation modes, bionic wild cultivation modes and pot cultivation modes, etc. Further discussions have also been conducted to tackle significant problems existing in the production process of Jinxianlian, based on personal studies of the authors. It has made considerable contributions for the betterment of Jinxianlian's development and improvement. Copyright© by the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association.
