Outline of Final Research Achievements

"Inventory of rare plants by use of geographical information system and evaluation of usefulness and safety" was started and developed research on rare plants which is considered to be an alternative or complementary medicine material for traditional Chinese medicine material. Activity evaluation models for lifestyle diseases and anti-inflammation are being prepared, and it is expected that the active ingredient bodies of useful plants will be elucidated with the goal of industrialization. For the plant samples collected in this survey, we provided 223 points (a total of 466 points from the first year). In the future, we will clarify the relationship between the strength of activity and its component variation due to environmental factors by GIS.
