三島柴胡臺農1號之育式

Abstract

三島柴胡臺農1號之親本源自日本之三島柴胡，爲常異交作物，自交純化不易。本所自民國57年引入三島柴胡種子後，即利用混合選種法，淘汰生產力顯著低落及品質較劣植株，並選拔生長勢旺盛及高saponin含量之植株，混合其飽滿種子，共經七年選種而成。並依序進行品種觀察試驗、品種比較試驗、產量調查及三次區域試驗，綜合上述試驗結果可知，新品種具有產量穩定、品質優越及適應力大之優點。在乾根平均公頃產量方面，新品種高出三島柴胡約27.7%，在saponin含量方面，新品種爲三島柴胡之1.12倍高，此外新品種之適應能力大增，已能在較高溫之平地栽培，且植株間之變異程度已經減小。因此獲得審查通過，命名爲三島柴胡臺農1號。Bupleurum falcatum L. cv. TARI No. 1 was developed through mass selection from three sources of Bupleurum fatcatum L. imported from Japan in 1968. Stable yielding potential, high quality, and wide adaptability of the new cultivar were identified through preliminary observation, varietal comparison, yield investigation, and three regional trials. It was released as a new medicinal variety in 1989.
