“…Scientists had studied Cistanche species since 1980s ( Kobayashi and Komotsu, 1983 ). Hundreds of publications had been issued in recent 20 years ( Li et al, 2016 ; Wang et al, 2019 ). The chemical analysis demonstrated that phenylethanoid glycosides, iridoids, betaine, Krebs cycle intermediates, lignans, alditols, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides are the main compounds in Cistanche plants ( Lun et al, 2005 ; Li et al, 2016 ; Wang et al, 2019 ).…”

Pharmacological research showed that the extracts from Cistanche plants possess a wide spectrum of activities, such as curing kidney deficiency and senile constipation, advancing the ability to study and memorize, enhancing immunity, anti-aging and antifatigue.…”

Folk nomenclature of plants in Cistanche deserticola-associated community in South Gobi, Mongolia

et al. 2020

Cistanche deserticola is an important medicinal plant in Mongolia. Despite its significant role in local healing systems, little traditional knowledge had been reported. The present study investigated folk names of C. deserticola and other species of the same community in Umnugobi Province, South Gobi region of Mongolia, based on ethnobotanical approaches. The high correspondence between folk names and scientific names of plant species occurring in Cistanche -associated community shows the scientific meaning of folk nomenclature and classification in Mongolia. The Mongolian and folk names of plants were formed on the basis of observations and understanding of wild plants including their morphology, phenology and traditional uses as well. Results from this study will support the conservation of C. deserticola itself, a rare and endangered plant species listed in the Monglian Red Data Book. Our documentation of folk nomenclature based on 96 plant species in the Cistanche community, as a part of traditional knowledge associated with biodiversity, will be very helpful for making strategy of plant biodiversity conservation in Mongolia.

“…Around 1970s and 1980s, C. deserticola was once on the verge of extinction and involved in the “second grade” nationally protected plants in China as well as CITES: Appendix II (Endangered species scientific commission). To meet the increasing demands of C. deserticola in the foreign and domestic TCM markets, attention has been devoted to search areas being suitable for C. deserticola cultivation, 23–25 and the deserts in Northwestern China are demonstrated as the exact choice. Afterward, continuous efforts have been also made toward tackling with the holoparasitic properties, and now, C. deserticola has been widely cultivated in several plantations in Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Xinjiang, and Gansu provinces.…”

Cistanches Herba (CH, Chinese name: Roucongrong), is a very precious, tonic Chinese medicine. Cistanche deserticola and Cistanche tubulosa are the two commonly used species and authenticated in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Due to the parasitic nature of Cistanche plants, the wild source was once endangered and listed in the Appendix II of Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. However, after continuously struggling in the past decades, CH has grown up to a big brand of Chinese medicine featured with the cultivation area as 1.26 million mu, the annual output as 6000 tons, and the related industrial output value as more than 20 billion China Yuan, attributing to large‐scale cultivation and in‐depth phytochemical and pharmacological investigations. Noteworthily, great achievements have reached concerning the research and development of relevant products, such as modern drugs, traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, and dietary supplements. The current review summarizes the research progresses concerning the distribution and cultivation, phytochemistry, pharmacology, metabolism and product development of CH in the past decades, and the emerging challenges and developing prospects are discussed as well.

“…Through relevant literature [19][20][21], 54 ecological factor data, including meteorological factors, soil type and topographic data, which affect the distribution of Chinese medicinal materials were selected. Among them, meteorological factors played a key role in in uencing the target plants' distribution, including 19 bioclimatic variables, precipitation variables and temperature variables, with a spatial resolution of 30 s, were downloaded from the WorldClim-Global Climate Database (http://worldclim.org/).…”

Background: To understand the potential distribution and habitat suitability of H. japonica in China. And to provide guidance for the wild cultivation and standardized planting of H. japonica. Methods: The maximum entropy model (Maxent) and geographic information system (ArcGIS) were applied to predict the potential suitable habitat of H. japonica species, and the contribution of variables were evaluated by using the jackknife test. Results: The AUC value confirmed the accuracy of the model prediction based on 101 occurrence records. The potential distributions of H. japonica were mainly concentrated in Jilin, Liaoning, Shaanxi and other provinces (adaptability index>0.6). Jackknife experiment showed that the precipitation of driest month (35.6%), precipitation of wettest quarter (13.4%), the mean annual temperature (7.8%) and the subclass of soil (7.8%) were the most important factors affecting the potential distribution of H. japonica. Conclusion: The niche parameters of the most suitable growth area (adaptability index>0.8) for H. japonica were precipitation of driest month (5 mm), precipitation of wettest quarter (400-490 mm), the mean annual temperature (-2-4 °C) and the subclass of soil (Glossy Chernozem, Gleyic Lime, Haplic Gypsisols).
