莲遗传学和分子生物学研究进展

Advances in Genetics and Molecular Biology Research on Lotus（Nelumbo）

摘要: 莲是我国特色的水生经济作物，具有很高的观赏、食用、药用等价值。近年来，莲的基因组学、遗传学和分子生物学等领域取得一系列研究进展。本文从莲的系统分类、遗传多样性分析、基因组测序、遗传图谱、基因挖掘和功能分析等方面进行了系统地综述，并对今后研究的重点任务和发展方向进行了展望，以期为莲的分子生物学研究和性状遗传改良提供参考。

Abstract: As a vital aquatic economic crop in China, lotus has high ornamental, edible and medicinal values. In the past decade, a series of advances have been taken place in the genomics, genetics and molecular biology of lotus. In this paper, the genetic diversity, phylogeny, genome sequencing, genetic mapping, and functional gene study were reviewed systematically. The potential goals and future development directions for research are also prospected with a view to provide reference for further molecular biology research and the genetic improvement of lotus.
