Research Abstract

The current year, we surveyed the wild Ephedra plants in Pakistan, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as well as cultivated land of the plants in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
The survey of Pakistan was made by Mikage and Takahashi, from June 28^<th> through July 13^<th>. Dr Tsuda, the emeritus professor of Kanazawa University also the visiting professor of Karachi University, guided us during the search. In Northern Aria of Pakistan, we collected 18 specimens in 1 8 different sites. The survey of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region was conducted by Mr.Long Changfeng, a doctor course student of Kanazawa University under the direction of Professor Mikage. The end of the survey, Mikage and two collaborators(the expence of one of them was covered by COE) were joined them in Chongching, and we examined the result of the survey. After the research in Chongching, we started die survey in Inner Mongolia through August 12th. We went to Peking to rent a microbus by … More help of Professor Cai Shaoqing of Peking University. Mikage and a collaborator(expence was covered COE) surveyed mainly cultivated Ephedra plants in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from September 8^<th> through 15^<th>.
By these surveys, we could collect many Ephedra plant specimens at the investigated sites. The latitude, longitude and altitude of the sites were measured and the samples for DNA analysis were collected. On occasion, we did hearing from local peoples about situation of resource of Ephedra. We investigated weeds grown in cultivated land.
From the results we obtained this year, we found the following interesting findings ; (1)The resource of Ephedra plants in Pakistan is still rich. (2)Some Ephedra plants grow on the seashore in China. (3)The most urgent points to be solved for cultivation of Ephedra plant are control of weed and irrigation.
We started taxonomical, anatomycal, phytochemical as well as molecular biological researches on the Ephedra plants which we obtained through the surveys. Less
