Abstract：
In East Asia, Panax ginseng is one of the most important medicinal plants and has been used in traditional medicines from ancient times. Today, P. ginseng is cultivated in Korea, China, and Japan. Although the genetic diversity of P. ginseng in Korea and China has been reported previously, that of P. ginseng cultivated in Japan is largely unknown. In the present study, genetic diversity of P. ginseng cultivated in Japan was analyzed using eight simple sequence repeat markers that have been used in other studies, and the results were compared with previous results for Korea and China. The correlation between genetic diversity and plant characteristics, such as ginsenoside contents, were also examined. The genetic diversity of P. ginseng in Japan was substantially different from that in Korea and China, probably due to Japan\'s history of cultivation and the ginseng reproduction system of agamospermy. The genetic analysis indicated that P. ginseng cultivated in Japan could be classified into two clusters. The classification was related to the contents of ginsenosides Re and Ro in the main root but not to the cultivation region of the samples. These results may be useful for the cultivation and quality control of P. ginseng in Japan.
摘要：
在东亚,人参是最重要的药用植物之一，自古以来就被用于传统药物中。今天,人参在韩国种植，中国,和日本。尽管先前已有韩国和中国人参的遗传多样性的报道,在日本种植的人参在很大程度上是未知的。在本研究中,在日本种植的人参的遗传多样性分析使用八个简单的序列重复标记，已用于其他研究，并将结果与韩国和中国以前的结果进行了比较。遗传多样性与植物特性的相关性,如人参皂苷含量，也被检查过。日本人参的遗传多样性与韩国和中国有很大差异，可能是由于日本的种植历史和人参的生殖系统。遗传分析表明，日本栽培的人参可分为两个簇。分类与主根中人参皂苷Re和Ro的含量有关，而与样品的栽培区域无关。这些结果可能对日本人参的栽培和质量控制有用。
