Anacardiaceae Pistacia chinensis
Bunge
Pistacia chinensis
Bunge has strong
adaptability, fruits and
seeds have higher oil
content. As a biofuel oil
tree species, it has good
development and
application prospects.
In August 2007, in《the
Medium and Long
Term Development
Plan for Renewable
Energy》 , it was
specifically proposed to
develop Chinese
pistache as one of the
important biofuel plants
It is distributed in the
Mediterranean coast,
Afghanistan, central
Asia, eastern and
southeast, the
Philippines to Central
America, Mexico and
South America,
Guatemala. There are
three species in China,
with the exception of
the Northeast and Inner
Mongolia
1.1.2 Evaluation of the Germ-Plasm
There are about 1 million species of animals, 300,000 species of plants and many
microorganisms on the earth, which contain rich and diverse genetic resources. As
long as a small part of them is explored and utilized, it is enough to open up a
broad world for the cultivation of new varieties of agriculture and forestry. Plant
germplasm resources, also known as genetic resources and gene resources, are all
kinds of plant types and varieties that can be used for breeding, cultivation or other
biological research, such as cultivated species, wild species, semi-wild species, wild
near-edge species and the newly created new germplasm materials [11–13]. It is in
the form of plants, seeds, organs, tissues, pollen, cells and DNA fragments.
Plant germplasm resources are an important natural resource formed by natural evolution and artificial creation in a long historical process. It carries all kinds
of germplasm, is the material basis of plant evolution, scientific and technological
innovation, crop breeding, biotechnology industry, and is an important source of
human food, drugs and industrial raw materials. It plays a stable role in the agricultural ecosystem and provides the key raw materials for the rise and development of
modern plant breeding. Its richness is directly related to the screening of excellent
varieties and genes. In a generalized sense, industrial oil plant resources refer to all
biological genetic resources that can be used for industrial oil development, which
is the sum of all industrial oil species. As far as a specific species is concerned, the
narrow sense of genetic resources is usually the carrier of all available genetic materials, including cultivated varieties, wild species, related species and special genetic
materials.
