我国药用种子鉴定与分类研究进展

目的：为构建数字标本馆中的种子鉴定与分类提供参考。方法：分析我国植物种子鉴定与分类研究进展，探讨植物种子鉴定研究存在的问题。结果：我国种子鉴定研究有形态鉴定、显微鉴定、微形态鉴定，以及微性状鉴定4种方法。因为植物种子的鉴定特征在各个科属中存在的变异，单靠某一种鉴定方法有时较难达到鉴定种子的目的。结论：种子鉴定研究成果之间缺乏系统性的联系，在具体的种子鉴定过程中由于缺乏鉴定系统而困难重重。建议对种子进行规范化的系统研究，以此建立种子鉴定与分类系统是当前急需研究解决的课题。

Research Progress in Identification and Classification of Medicinal Seeds in China

Objective: To provide references for seed identification and classification in the construction of digital herbarium. Methods: The progress of plant seed identification and classification in China was analyzed, and the existing problems in the plant seed identification research were discussed. Results: The plant seed identification and classification methods in China are morphological identification, microscopic identification, micro-morphological identification, and the newly proposed micro-character identification. Because of the diversity of seeds'' characteristics in various plant families and genera, it is sometimes difficult to identify seeds by using a single identification method. Conclusion: There lacks a systematic relationship among the results of seed identification research, so it is rather difficult to identify seeds in the specific process. It is suggested that systematic and standardized research on seeds be carried out in order to establish a seed identification and classification system.
