摘要:

植物系统和进化生物学旨在探讨植物物种多样性的起源、多样化及其进化的机制, 是综合性越来越强的研究领域。2017年在深圳召开的第19届国际植物学大会(IBC 2017)为中国学者提供了一次难得的展示自身实力的机会和舞台, 同时也极大地推动了中国植物系统与进化生物学领域的研究。值此大会召开5周年之际, 本文拟就中国系统和进化生物学领域近年来取得的主要进展和突破做一简要回顾, 以帮助读者了解中国植物系统和进化研究的发展态势, 并在此基础上展望未来该领域的发展趋势以及面临的机遇和挑战。在过去5年中, 中国学者在植物系统与进化生物学领域的各个方面均取得了令人鼓舞的成绩和突破, 涉及植物起源和物种多样性格局的演变、植物分类和系统发生重建、物种形成和适应性进化、种间互作和协同进化、新性状的起源及其进化发育机制、植物多倍化的机制和多倍体进化、物种濒危机制和物种保护以及栽培植物的起源和驯化等等。这些研究成果不仅在数量上而且在质量上有显著提升, 受到国际学界的广泛关注, 意味着中国学者已经成为国际该领域研究的重要力量, 并将在国际植物系统和进化研究领域发挥更大的作用。

Abstract

Aims: Studies on plant systematics and evolution aim to elucidate the origin and diversification of plants and to elucidate the factors that affect the patterns of plant diversity temporally and spatially. As the largest and most highly attended conference on plant sciences, the International Botanical Congress (IBC) came to China in 2017 (IBC 2017) and attracted nearly 7,000 participants from around the globe. The success of holding IBC 2017 in China has profound influence on plant sciences in China both because it was an important forum to demonstrate the achievements and progresses of Chinese scientists and because it strengthened the link and collaboration of scientists between China and abroad.
Progresses: On the occasion of the fifth anniversary of IBC 2017, I reviewed the achievements and breakthroughs in the field of plant systematics and evolution in China, including the origin and diversification of early plants, taxonomy and phylogenetic reconstruction of major plant lineages, plant speciation and adaptive evolution, species interaction and concerted evolution, origin and underlying mechanisms of innovation characters, plant polyploidy and polyploid evolution, species endangerment and protection, as well as origin and domestication of cultivated plants. All the progresses highlighted here have contributed greatly to our better understanding of plant biodiversity across the world, which embodies the growing impacts of Chinese scientists on global research and development in plant sciences.
Prospect: I pointed out the opportunities and challenges that plant scientists have faced, including fast development of genome sequencing and ‘-omic’ studies, the interdisciplinary and multi-level investigations and cooperation, management of big data, and the practical applications of plant systematics and evolutionary studies in resource utilization, species conservation, agriculture and horticulture, medicine and plant trade, etc.
