番红花(Crocus sativus L.)又名藏红花。柱头入药,其主要成分是番红花甙、番红花苦甙、番红花醛、精油等。具有镇静镇痛、通经止血、养血祛疾、消肿止痛等功效。它不仅是妇科的良药,在食品、化妆、染料等方面也是较好的原料。有的国家还把番红花作为观赏植物广为栽培。番红花原产欧洲,我国历来都是靠进口供药用。番红花只是柱头入药,产量极低,每亩产0.5—1公斤,价格昂贵。近年我国虽然进行引种栽培,并能提供少量商品。但是由于种源少,适宜栽培的地区有限。为克服自然条件的限制,探索扩大种源的途径,我们用组织培养的方法,进行了番红花球茎的诱导试验研究。现将结果报告如下。 Crocus sativus L. is also called saffron.
