火龙果(Hylocereusspp。)是仙人掌家族的成员,该家族原产于中美洲和南美洲,但现在在世界亚热带和热带地区种植。这是非常重要的,因为它的营养,装饰性的,着色,药用,工业,高消费价值。为了有效地利用和开发现有的遗传资源,有必要欣赏和理解有关用法的研究,origin,营养,多样性,评估,表征,养护,分类法,和杂种属的系统学。此外,为了获得对植物生物学的基本了解,这篇综述还讨论了生物技术工具,如细胞和组织培养,微传播(即,体细胞胚胎发生,器官发生,体细胞克隆变异,诱变,雄激素生成,gynogenesis,和改变的倍性),病毒诱导的基因沉默,和分子标记技术,已被用于提高火龙果的种质。
Pitaya (Hylocereus spp.) is a member of the cactus family that is native to Central and South America but is now cultivated throughout the sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world. It is of great importance due to its nutritional, ornamental, coloring, medicinal, industrial, and high consumption values. In order to effectively utilize and develop the available genetic resources, it is necessary to appreciate and understand studies pertaining to the usage, origin, nutrition, diversity, evaluation, characterization, conservation, taxonomy, and systematics of the genus Hylocereus. Additionally, to gain a basic understanding of the biology of the plant, this review has also discussed how biotechnological tools, such as cell and tissue culture,
micropropagation (i.e., somatic embryogenesis, organogenesis, somaclonal variation, mutagenesis, androgenesis, gynogenesis, and altered ploidy), virus-induced gene silencing, and molecular marker technology, have been used to enhance pitaya germplasm.
