Quality Ecology on Chinese Medicines: New Emerging Cross Discipline
Quality ecology on Chinese medicines (QECM),the study of the relationship between medicinal biology and eco-environment,is a dynamic emerging discipline bringing together the quality of Chinese medicines and ecology to solve a wide range of quality of Chinese medicines and eco-environmental problems.Here,we propose the definition of QECM for the first time,describe the background and development,with focus on the research scope of QECM:quality of Chinese medicine,biological reasons of formation of quality of Chinese medicine,relationship between eco-factors and distribution,geographic origin of medicinal materials,regionalization and ecoadaptation for high quality Chinese medicine,eco-system regulation and protection effect on Chinese medicine,development and utilization of high quality Chinese medicine,basic theory and technique method.We also summarize the 6 basic theories:environmental ecology theory;variety,quality continuity theory;sustainable utilization theory;eco-type theory;stress-effect theory;gene specialization theory.Additionally,we introduce research methods of QECM,including chemical,physical,biological and ecological methods.Finally,we present the further direction of QECM:maco-meso-microscopic bidirectional multidimensional development;combination of multidiscipline and improvement of theory and technique;producing practice and worldwide promotion.
