MESSAGE FROM 

DIRECTOR 

As the first year of the 12th Five Year Plan of the country, this has been a challenging 

year but an immensely successful one for Kunming Institute of Botany (KIB), Chinese 

Academy of Sciences (CAS). In this year, we set the targets and finished the formation and 

review works on the 12 th Five Year Plan, adjusted the research and support systems with 

great progresses made on aspects of research, personnel and other career constructions, 

which have laid solid foundations for the realization of the overall objectives of 

"Innovation 2020". 

Boosted by the strong support of the National Government, CAS and the Local 

Government, we have strengthened our contribution to scientific research, education and 

conservation. The public technical service center of KIB has received support from CAS; 

Kunming Botanical Garden (KBG) appeared with a brand new look, the reconstruction 

project of the Camellia Garden has been completely finished and was reopened to the 

public and the reconstruction project of Medicinal Herb Garden was also completed and 

the infrastructure construction and was put into an overall layout; great progress has been 

made in the first year of the launching of Lijiang Forest Ecosystems Research Station. 

In 2011, the overseas experts' evaluation group has evaluated the scientific research 

work of KIB in the past 3 to 5 years for the first time, giving high recognitions on the work 

of KIB and the research groups and offering some constructive comments. At the same 

time, State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Plant Resources in West China have 

passed the evaluation work organized by Ministry of Science and Technology. Natural 

Products & Bioprospecting (NPB), co-organized by KIB and Springer Publishing Group 

from Germany, was officially launched in August, 2011 and was published online for the 

first time on October 1st. 2011. By that time, the overall pattern of three major journals 

(Plant Diversity & Resources, Fungal Diversity and NPB) of KIB has been formed. 

2011 was a year of stable development and promotion for the postgraduate education 

2 2011 MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR

of KIB with its academic construction highly strengthened. Botany and medicinal 

chemistry passed the evaluation of CAS and were listed as the key disciplines of CAS; the 

establishment of biology and pharmacy subjects helped KIB to add two new primary level 

subjects for the enrollment of doctoral candidates including biochemistry & molecular 

biology and pharmacology. 

Besides the popping up of new construction projects, the entire environment of KIB in 

terms of views and safety is further improved with the removal of dangerous buildings and 

the green coverage increased. Also, the Phase III supervision project garden construction 

and reconstruction projects of Lijiang Alpine Botanical Garden and KBG received 

significant effects. 

The research and management delegations from various academic institutions, 

organizations and enterprises have visited KIB and exchange communications with us. 

In addition, KIB also signed MOU's (Memorandum of Understanding) with Herbarium 

of Queensland (Australia), Institute of Botany, University of Basel (Switzerland) and the 

Amore Pacific Group (Korea). 

None of the above achievements could have been possible without the expertise and 

dedication of the entire management and staff that comprise KIB. Additionally, I would 

like to express my grateful appreciation to the Government, CAS, the staff and their 

families, students, volunteers, friends, companions and patrons, the associate organizations 

and all sectors of the society for the long time concern and support on the reform and 

development careers of KIB.

N-Containing Compounds of Macromycetes 

The structure of a nitrogen-containing 

compounds of isolated from Amanita sp. 

Nitrogen-containing compounds of macromycetes represent unique bioactivities respect to their 

chemodiversity. Dr. LIU Ji-Kai and his team were interested in N-containing compounds in macromycetes. 

Recently, his team reported a review to introduce the progress of this topic combined with his own research. 

For example, an interesting nitrogenous metabolite with a p-terphenyl core, sarcodonin δ, was isolated from the 

fruiting bodies of the basidiomycete Sarcodon scabrosus. Flazin, an N-containing metabolite, isolated from higher 

fungi Suillus granulatus was found to have anti-HIV activity. In further study, flazin was synthesized with “onepot” 

synthetic method in total yield of 46.5%. Then with diversity-oriented synthesis theory, 179 flazin analogues 

were synthesized and some of their anti-HIV activities were tested. Compound flazinamide with the molecular 

mechanism of interfering the early steps of HIV-1 life cycle was found with low EC 50 value of 0.38 μM, and 

biggest therapeutic index index (TI) of 312.2. 

This review mainly surveys the isolation, structural elucidation, biological activities, and synthesis of 

nitrogen-containing compounds from the fruiting bodies or the culture broths of macromycetes. The paper 

introduced based on the structure types and in the order of nitrogen heterocycles, nucleosides and nonprotein 

amino acids, cyclic peptides and peptide antibiotics, sphingolipids and miscellaneous just the same as its 

predecessor (Chemical Reviews 2005, 105: 2723-2742). This results were published in Natural Product Report (IF 

9.202) (2011, 28: 783-808).

New Discoveries for Prevention and Control of 

Diabetic Nephropathy 

Chronic nephropathy is called as "the silent 

killing disease" in the field of medicine. Due to 

incomplete statistics, the morbidity of nephropathy 

of our country is between 10% and 15%, if it is 

delayed for treatment or even not treated, it would 

wind up with terminal kidney failure, which is 

very dangerous. Diabetes, obesity, high blood 

pressure and glomerulonephritis now have become 

the primary incentives of nephropathy, of which 

diabetic nephropathy is the most common. Along 

with the changes of life styles of the modern society, 

nephropathy is more and more high-risk trended 

with its threats to the kidney highly increased. As 

yet, prevention and treatment for nephropathy is only 

limited to the controlling of the blood sugar, blood 

pressure, life style and using large doses of hormones, 

there is no obvious effective intervening medicines in 

the market. Shui-Lu-Er Xian-Dan, which is recorded 

in Hong's Collection of Experiential Formulas, is 

comprised of Semen Euryales and Rose laevigata 

Michx and can be used for reinforcing the kidney and 

controlling noctural emission, treating gonorrhea and 

leucorrhea. According to the clinical findings of the 

modern traditional Chinese medicine, it can effectively 

reduce the proteinuria. 

Considering that proteinuria is one of the 

important pathological products and pathogenic 

factors of nephropathy, Prof. CHENG Yong-Xian of 

KIB and Prof. HOU Fan-Fan from Nanfang Hospital 

have cooperated and found that there are many phenol 

components within Euryale ferox in compliance with 

recordings of ancient works and some of the lignans 

and half lignanoids components can effectively 

reduce the total protein of renal cell membrane cell 

lines induced by high sugar, namely high antioxidant 

stress function. Although it’s still not clear what 

is the real incentive cause of chronic nephropathy, 

it’s obvious that the oxidative stress, phlogosis and 

protein glycosylation end-products have been existed 

within the whole process of nephropathy and the 

study was aimed to reveal that the reason Euryale 

ferox can be used to treat proteinuria is probably 

related to the oxidative stress function of the phenolic 

components. It was suggested that a scientific and 

regular consumption of Euryale ferox may help with 

the recovery process of the diabetic nephropathy. 

The research findings were published in Journal of 

Agricultural and Food Chemistry (2011, 59: 1199- 

1204).

Research Progresses Achieved in the Effects of Nectar Robbing 

on Plant Species 

Frequency of the number of nectar-robbing holes in flowers 

of Comastoma pulmonarium in 2001 (closed bars) and 2010 

(open bars) 

Number of ovules (closed bars) and seeds (open bars) from 

netted (a) and robbed (b) Comastoma pulmonarium flowers 

that were either hand-selfed or hand-outcrossed 

Nectar robbers are floral visitors who absorb plant 

nectar by means of piercing holes or biting flowers. 

The impacts of robbers on plant reproduction generally 

include both direct and indirect influences. The direct 

effects will occur when robbers act as pollinators (i.e. 

robber-like pollinators) or damage floral reproductive 

structures, whereas the indirect effects are, to most 

extent, subject to the changes of pollination due to 

altering pollinator behavior and patterns of flower 

visitation. The pollinator behavior changes could have 

either positive or negative impacts on pollen flow and 

plant reproduction. As a self-compatible plant does not 

require pollinators for pollen dispersal and exchange, 

it is generally assumed that nectar robbers may have a 

neutral effect on self-pollinated plant’s reproduction. 

To test the well-acknowledged assumption, 

YANG Yong-Ping’s group carried out field 

experiments on a self-pollinated plant species, 

Comastoma pulmonarium (Gentianaceae) in the 

Haibei Alpine Meadow Ecosystem Research Station 

from 2009 to 2010, supervised by Prof. YANG Yong- 

Ping and Dr. DUAN Yuan-Wen. They found that C. 

pulmonarium around the Haibei Station produced 

plenty of nectar but were predominantly self-fertilized. 

The nectar was consumed exclusively by nectar 

robbers (Bombus kashmirensis). They suggested that 

nectar robbing could result in selective seed abortion 

through reducing the resource of seed development, 

which further reduced the magnitude of inbreeding 

depression in progeny from robbed flowers. 

Nevertheless, this reduction of inbreeding depression 

was not strong enough to facilitate the evolution 

of selfing in C. pulmonarium since the cumulative 

inbreeding depression of progeny from the robbed 

flowers was much greater than 0.5. This study were 

published on New Phytologist (2011, 192: 249-255).

Five New Varieties of Michelia had Passed the Examination 

and Approval of State Forestry Administration 

Five new varieties of Michelia, 

Michelia 'Dianjiangchun', Michelia 

'Feizixiao', Michelia 'Yuxin', Michelia 

'Chilongzhua' and Michelia 'Yanzhizui', 

which had been bred by the research 

group of SUN Wei-Bang, had past 

the examination and approval of 

the committee of experts of State 

Forestry Administration on March 10, 

2011. These five new varieties were 

selectively bred from the F1 hybrid 

population between Michelia crassipes 

(♀) and M. calcicola (♂) in 2001. 

The F1 hybrid plants began to bloom 

in 2007. And the hybrid plants with 

distinctness, stability and uniformity 

had been selectively bred through the 

studies of morphological characteristics 

(plant shape, floral organ character, 

pollen morphology and fertility, blade 

character and micro-morphology of 

foliar structure, and so on), cytology 

and FISH (Fluorescent in situ 

hybridization) of hybrid F1 and parent 

plants. And the key propagation skill of 

five new breeds had been successfully 

established by micro-propagation.

Scientific Suggestions on International River Hydropower Development 

Mekong, one of the world famous international 

rivers, has only a few dams established by China 

in its upper reaches since the 21st century. But in 

September, 2010, Laos officially submitted the 

request to Mekong Committee of building Xayaburi 

Dam, which was one of the 11 dams to be built in 

the lower reaches of Mekong. Hydropower gradient 

development like this is no doubt to bring considerable 

economic benefits, but it would result negative effects 

to the biological diversity and service functions of 

the ecological system, furthermore, the construction 

of the dam would also affect the living situation 

and the safety production of food to the millions of 

residents along the lower reaches of the river. There 

were several points worth paying attention to in the 

proposal submitted by Laos: First, for the past several 

years, the frangibility of the current ecological system 

and the residents’ living situation along Mekong was 

never comprehensively considered together with 

the regional natural resource development within 

the Mekong Planning; second, with the improving 

quality of the river basin planning and based on 

Laos’ desires, Mekong Committee for the first time 

organized a strategic environment evaluation by 

investigating the potential long-term impact to the 

environment and society from the dam building 

engineering, and the investigation suggestion is that 

the countries along the lower reaches of Mekong shall 

put back their hydropower engineering plans for 10 

years; third, encouraged the public to participate in 

and pay more attention to the economic benefits of 

the local residents; and lastly, it’s very important to 

promote the knowledge communication and dialogues 

among governments within Mekong regions through 

multilateral cooperation. As in this era of increasing 

need for resources, weakening self-renewal ability of 

environment and dramatic effects by climate changes, 

the interregional international cooperation is obvious 

the best way to solve the problems. Prof. Grumbine 

and Prof. XU Jian-Chu have co-published in Science 

the paper of "Mekong Hydropower Development" 

(2011, 332:178-179.). 

Mekong Basin Hydropower 

Prof. Grumbine is now a specially invited 

researcher hired by KIB, who is primarily engaged 

in the study of environment protection and safety 

area; and Prof. XU Jian-Chu, a senior scientist of 

International Center for Research in Agroforesry 

(ICRAF), chief delegate for the China & Southeast 

Asia Office and also a researcher of KIB, is mainly 

studying the areas of biological diversity, ecological 

processes of highlands and livelihoods development.

Anti-depression Class I New Drug "Orcinoside" Received 

Phase I, Phase II and Phase III Clinical Trial Approvals 

The natural drug, Class I New Drug "Orcinoside" co-applied by KIB, Kunming Institute of Zoology 

(KIZ), CAS and Kunming Jingbiao Biotech Co., Ltd. recently received the Phase I, Phase II and Phase 

III drug clinical trail approvals (Approval No.: 2011L00825, 2011L00826) from State Food and Drug 

Administration (SFDA). 

Major depressive disorder is a common mental disease, which is listed as one of the ten major 

disease of human being for its disability rate, suicide rate and disease burdens. The researcher team 

led by CHEN Ji-Jun from KIB and the other team led by XU Lin from KIZ together screened the 

antidepressant natural active molecules among series traditional Chinese medicines and found Orcinoside 

in one of these traditional Chinese medicines, which is a small molecular compound with significant 

antidepressant activities. They co-finished the preclinical studies on Orcinoside and the capsules, 

which is listed as Class I New Natural Drug (Innovative Medicine) within the new drug classification 

registration of the country. The antidepressant mechanism of Orcinoside is remarkably different from the 

current antidepressant drugs with higher safety and lower toxic and side effects, which is highly likely 

to be a brand new mechanism antidepressant drug. 

In the year 2007, Orcinoside was granted patent in 

China and in 2008, it applied for PCT international 

patent and was registered for patents in 33 countries 

in the world, among which Austria and Japan has 

already granted the patents. As a national Class I 

New Drug with independent intellectual property 

right, the preclinical studies on Orcinoside and its 

capsules have received funding from the Key New 

Product Development Program of Yunnan Science 

and Technology Department, the Major New 

Medicine Innovation Special Project "Preclinical 

Study of New Drug" of the 11 th Five-Year Plan, 

the special project of “Key Technology for the 

Evaluation of Antidepressant Pharmacodynamics”,

Intellectual Property Office. 




Orchid Draws Flies with Fungal Disguise 

Two years after his landmark work, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection", 

Charles Darwin in a letter to Joseph Hooker, the assistant director of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, 

wrote "I never was more interested in any subject in my life, than this of orchids". In 1862, Darwin 

published a book "On the Various Contrivances by Which Orchids Are Fertilised by Insects" in which 

he described and identified most of the functional floral morphology and biomechanics in orchid 

pollination. However, Darwin never recognized that many of the flowers that he examined lacked edible 

rewards of food, e.g. nectar and granular pollen, and sex. In fact, floral evolution in the Orchidaceae 

appears to be dominated by modes of pollination-by-deceit, in which visual and/or olfactory cues 

mimic food sources, bodies of receptive females and oviposition sites. Prof. LI De-Zhu's group reported 

an unusual form of deceptive pollination mechanism in a single-flowered species of slipper orchid, 

Cypripedium fargesii, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA (PNAS), 

(2011, 108(18): 7478-7480). 

Cypripedium fargesii is a nectarless, terrestrial, endangered orchid from southwestern China that 

requires cross-pollination to produce the maximum number of viable embryos. In this species, each short 

flowering stem bears two leaves with rows of black spots on the upper surfaces. The stem terminates in 

a small, solitary, dark-red to dull-yellow flower that produces a faint but unpleasant odor reminiscent 

of rotting leaves. Ph. D candidate REN Zong-Xin in Prof. LI De-Zhu's group conducted four years of 

pollination ecology studies on C. fargesii to elucidate its mechanism of floral mimesis and to interpret 

the function of the black spots on its leaves. 

This research presented both the first example of floral mimesis of fungus-infected foliage in 

orchids and the first example of flat-footed flies as pollen vectors for angiosperms. All insects caught 

entering or leaving the labellum sac were flat-footed fly (Agathomyia sp., Platypezidae) carrying spores 

of black mold (i.e., conidia of Cladosporium sp.) on their mouthparts and legs, suggesting mycophagy. 

Blackish hairy spots on the upper surface of foliage may imitate black mold spots, serving as short-term 

visual lures. Some odor molecules also associated with Cladosporium cultures were isolated in the floral 

scent. The authors proposed that flowers 

of C. fargesii mimic fungus-infected plant 

organs to attract flat-footed fly to find 

fungal spores for food, which also based 

in part on modified scent components. 

The authors suggested that mimesis 

of fungus-infected foliage probably 

represents an overlooked but important 

option in angiosperm diversification, since 

there are three to five more Cypripedium 

spp. in southwestern China with the same 

mode of floral presentation and blackspotted 

hairy leaves. This new mode of 

The deceptive pollination mechanism in 

Cypripedium fargesii 

pollination-by-deceit may ultimately 

represent a "bridge" between generalist 

food mimesis and mimicry of mushrooms.

A New Mechanism of Plant Adaptation to Temperature Changes 

Climate stresses, which include high and low 

temperatures, are the major factors that limit the 

geographic distribution of plants. Maintaining 

the integrity and fluidity of membranes is of 

fundamental importance for plants to survive high 

or low temperature stress. Changes in the degree 

of unsaturation of membrane glycerolipids, which 

affect membrane fluidity, are well known and occur 

when plants encounter low or high temperatures. At 

low temperatures, the degree of unsaturation of fatty 

acids is increased and vice versa. However, changes 

in lipid unsaturation are complex and require large 

energy inputs. If plants adapted to frequent alterations 

between high and low temperatures, which routinely 

occur in alpine and desert ecosystems, by frequently 

changing the degree of saturation of membrane lipids, 

it would be physiologically costly and a poor tradeoff. 

Therefore, Prof. LI Wei-Qi and his colleague 

hypothesize that plants maintain the same degree of 

unsaturation of membrane lipids and instead vary the 

lipid composition of the membrane by mechanisms 

that require less energy, to adapt to environments with 

frequent changes between high and low temperatures. 

They conducted both field and laboratory experiments 

and used lipidomics approaches to test their hypothesis. 

The field experiments were conducted in an 

alpine scree ecosystem of Hengduan Mountains in 

Southwest China, which has extreme environmental 

conditions, in particular, high and low night-time 

temperatures. To exclude the potential effects of 

strong solar and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which 

can occur in the field, a laboratory experiment was 

conducted in a growth chamber with daily temperature 

cycles of heat during the day and freezing during the 

night. Plant lipid profiling from both experiments 

indicated that remodeling of membrane lipids by headgroup 

exchanges but maintenance of the degree of 

unsaturation are sued to adapt to frequent temperature 

alterations. Because exchanges of lipid head-groups 

require less energy, these results confirmed the 

hypothesis above. This results were published on 

Plant, Cell & Environment (2011, 34: 1431-1442).

The Chemical Constituents and Biological Activities 

of Valeriana officinalis 

The cultivated Valeriana officinalis 

The flowers of Valeriana officinalis 

The structure of 

some representative compound 

The genus Valeriana consists of about 200 species 

and belongs to the family of Valerianacae, which is wildly 

distributed throughout the world. Valerian (Valerianacae) 

is a perennial herb native to Europe, Asia, and North 

America and has been widely used as a mild sedative 

and sleep aid for centuries. Valeriana officinalis is the 

official species used in Europe and is commonly referred 

to as valerian. Valerian was an official medicine in the 

U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) from 1820 until 1940. A U.S. 

Valerian monograph has been approved and Valerian is 

once again an official herb in the National Formulary. 

Although the roots of V. officinalis have definite curative 

effect for sleeping disorder, but the active components 

were still controversial. 

In order to develop the root of V. officinalis to be 

diet supplement used for sedatives, Prof. ZHOU Jun 

bought the seed from Switzerland and cultivated it in 

China near Kunming in 2006. In addition, the tissue 

culture method was also set up. The cultivated species 

was identified by Prof. CHEN Hu-Biao, school of 

pharmaceutical science, Peking University, and which 

was also confirmed by comparing its fingerprint with 

those of the plants bought from Germany via HPLC. 

The ethanol extract showed antidepressant and sedative 

activities in animal models, which was done by 

collaborated with Yunnan institute of material medical. 

Valeriana officinalis was a European species and 

did not distribute in mainland China. Valeriana officinalis 

var latifolia was widely distribute in china and the roots 

used as the instead species as V. officinalis. Systematic 

studies about the chemical constituents of the cultivated 

V. officinalis and V. officinalis var latifolia by WANG 

Peng-Cheng in ZHOU Jun's group have result in the 

isolation of many sesquiterpenoids with diverse structures 

derived from normal valerane-type and germacranetype 

sesquiterpenoids (Org. Lett. 2011, 13 (12): 3036- 

3039; J. Nat. Prod. 2009, 72 (9): 1682-1685; J. Nat. 

Prod. 2010, 73 (9): 1563-1567; Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 

51 (41): 5451-5453; Chem. Biodivers 2011, 8 (10): 1908- 

1913; Chin. Chem. Soc-Taip, 2011, 58 (5): 659-662.). 

More than 80 organic compounds, including 17 new 

ones, were isolated from the above two species, of which 

most of the compounds were sesquiterpenoids and its 

derivatives. Moreover, three compounds were selected 

into “Hot off the Press” of Natural Products Reports after 

they were reported. Besides, immobility time of forceswimming 

mice and tail suspension stress mice was 

significantly shortened by three compounds indicated 

that the three compounds showed antidepressant activity. 

Another five compounds showed NGF-promoting and 

acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities. The 

present studies have shed light on the active mechanism 

of V. officinalis and V. officinalis var latifolia, and which 

also have laid a foundation for the development of drugs 

or diet supplements from the genus Valeriana.

The Structural Diversity and Bioactivities of 

Terpenoid Indole Alkaloids 

Proposed biogenetic relationships of compound1-5 isolated 

from Melodinus yunnanensis 

Monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) account 

for a important group of natural products. Both their 

highly complex chemical structures and pronounced 

pharmacological activity have made research on 

alkaloids, including elucidation of their biosynthetic 

pathways, very attractive for many decades. MIAs 

have been proposed to arise from strictosidine, which 

itself originates from the condensation of tryptophan 

with secologanin in a 1:1 ratio. 

In the phytochemical research on Alstonia 

rostrata, Dr. CAI Xiang-Hai and Prof. LUO Xiao- 

Dong and others revealed a potential new precursor 

for these compounds. The alstrostines A and B 

was isolated and it was determined that they were 

derived from tryptophan and secologanin in a 1:2 

ratio, which supported the presence of a new type 

of MIA precursor (Organic Letters 2011, 3568). 

Besides, 6/7-seco rearranged spiro-indolone alkaloids, 

meloyunines A and B and a monoterpenoid quinoline 

alkaloid meloyunine C together with its possible 

intermediate 14, 15-dehydromelohenine B, and 

their precursor 14 -vincamenine were isolated from 

Melodinus yunnanensis. To the knowledge, this is the 

first report of the co-occurrence of monoterpenoid 

indoles, a quinoline, and their key intermediates in 

same plant, supporting the biosynthesis of quinoline 

from indole and concurring with previous in vivo 

tracer experiments in the literature, this results were 

published on Natural Products and Bioprospecting 

(2011, 1: 25-28). 

In addition, LUO Xiao-Dong's research group 

recently has made a series of progresses in structural 

diversity and bioactivities, and the results were 

published on Organic Letters (2010, 968-971; 2009, 

4834-4837;2008, 577-580;2007, 1817-1820),

antitumor indole alkaloids (in Vivo) were also applied for 

their patents (PCT/CN2010/001775, 200910095137.9; 

201010104016.9,201010101733.6) . 




Natural New Drug (Type 5) Developed by KIB Scientists 

Obtained "Clinical Trial Approval" from SFDA 

Changes in the weather, decline in air quality 

and other factors cause respiratory disease common 

multiple. Respiratory drugs are a competitive therapy 

area. In 2010, the 4th global sales blockbuster 

drugs "Advair" is a compound preparation of 

Fluticasone (steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and 

Salmeterol (long-acting agonist of the β2-receptor) 

for the treatment of asthma and chronic pulmonary 

embolism, and its annual sales amount to about 8 

billion US dollars. Nowadays, 13 international drugs 

for the treatment of acute bronchitis are mainly antibacterial 

and anti-inflammatory (Thomson Reuters 

Pharma datamase). The nosocomial infections caused 

by misuse of antibiotics has become the great hidden 

of diseases treatment. Chinese and Western medicine 

treatment of respiratory are distinctive. Traditional 

Chinese Medicine and natural medicine with clinical 

efficacy, role in wide range, and small adverse 

reactions for treatment of acute bronchitis and acute 

exacerbation of chronic bronchitis are concerned. 

Alstonia scholaris has been historically used 

in "dai" ethnopharmacy to treat respiratory diseases 

and uncovered from Puer area of Yunnan in early the 

1970s. It is contained in "Yunnan Provincial Drug 

Standards (1974)" and "Chinese Pharmacopoeia 

(1977)". Alstonia scholaris and is mainly distributed 

in south of Yunnan, and Guangxi, Guangdong, and 

Fujian, Taiwan also has wild and cultivated plants. 

Its rich resource can supply sustainable use of leaves 

for medicine. Investigational new drug (IND) project 

of indole alkaloids from A. scholaris, undertaken by 

Prof. LUO Xiao-Dong in cooperation with Yunnan 

Institute of Materia Medica, has been approved 

for clinical trial (phase I and II) (2011L01436, 

2011L01665) by SFDA of China in September 2011. 

It is the second approved clinical trial belongs to 

new five categories of drugs (effective parts) from 

TMC and natural medicine after the implementation 

of "Measures for the Administration of Drug 

Registration" (Board Order No. 28) in Nov. 2007. 

In our pharmacological evaluation of indole 

alkaloids from A. scholaris, the results indicated 

that the total alkaloids significantly inhibited mice’s 

frequency of cough induced by ammonia, increased 

mice’s latent period of cough induced by sulfur 

dioxide, and increased guinea pigs' latent period of 

cough and inhibited frequency of cough. Besides, 

the alkaloids increased delitescence of convulsion, 

and tumble of guinea pigs in anti-asthmatic test, and 

enhanced tracheal phenol red output in expectorant 

evaluation. Moreover, the main alkaloid, picrinine 

exhibited anti-tussive and anti-asthmatic activities in 

vivo. 

Furthermore, total alkaloids increased 

significantly SOD activity and decreased levels of 

NO, PGE2 and MDA significantly, in air pouch 

mice model. Results indicated that total alkaloids 

and three main indole (picrinine, vallesamine and 

scholaricine) may produce the anti-inflammatory and 

analgesic effect peripherally based on several in vivo 

assays. Indoles exhibited inhibition of inflammatory 

mediators (COX-1, COX-2 and 5-LOX) in vitro, in 

which 16-formyl-5-methoxystrictamine, picralinal 

and tubotaiwine are COX-2/5-LOX dual inhibitors. 

Indole alkaloids from A. scholaris could be a 

valuable lead material for respiratory diseases drug 

development after pharmacological study. Then, a 

serial of preclinical investigation include pharmic, 

pharmacological, toxicological evaluations have been 

completed. Total alkaloids capsule of A. scholaris 

is originated from Dai medicine history and a depth 

development on the basis of original leaf preparation. 



17



Alstonia scholaris and Pierinine capsule 

The capsule enrich the effective medicinal 

parts and improve the pharmacological activity, 

which permits the medicine consumption and 

dose to be greatly reduced as well as reduce the 

risk within clinical trials. Total indole alkaloids 

from A. scholaris has diverse pharmacological 

effects, including antiviral, antibacterial, antiinflammatory, 

analgesic, expectorant, cough, 

asthma and immune regulation. The safety 

pharmacology and mechanism of action studies 

suggested that the total indole alkaloids may not 

cause addiction and drowsiness, and showed 

potential clinical value compared with existing 

drugs. 11 papers have been published on journals, 

such as "Organic Letters" and so on and 3 patents 

were obtained during the preclinical study. 




A Review about Meliaceous Limonoids was 

Published on Top Journal "Chemical Reviews" 

The word "limonoids" originated from the 

bitterness of lemon or other citrus fruit. Structurally, 

limonoids are formed by loss of four terminal 

carbons of the side chain in the apotirucallane or 

apoeuphane skeleton and then cyclized to form the 

17β-furan ring, and thus limonoids are also known 

as tetranortriterpenoids. Followed formation of the 

basic limonoid skeleton, a variety of oxidations 

and skeletal rearrangements can occur and lead to 

various classes of limonoids. Because of the high 

structural complexity, the limonoids of Meliaceae 

have attracted considerable attention from the natural 

products chemists and also challenged the organic 

synthesis skills. Azadirachtin, a complex limonoid 

from Azadirachta indica seed kernel, is the most 

effective insect antifeedant for pest control. There are 

many literatures reported the extraction, isolation, 

structure confirmation and diverse biological activities 

of azadirachtin after it was found in early 1968. 

Ley’s research group completed the total synthesis of 

azadirachtin through 71 steps of chemical reactions 

in 2007 after 22 years hard work. Recently, limonoids 

have been one of the research focuses of natural 

product chemistry because of their complex, diverse 

structures and environment-friendly insecticide 

mechanism. 

Prof. LUO Xiao-Dong and Dr. TAN Qin- 

Gang (now working in Natural Products Chemistry 

Department of Guilin Medical University) from 

KIB were invited and published the review named 

Meliaceous Limonoids: Chemistry and Biological 

Activities on journal "Chemical Reviews" (2011, 

111, 7437-7522. IF=33.036). This review analyzed 

and summarized the chemical aspects and biological 

activities of limonoids from Meliaceae, which covered 

988 references published from 1942 to June 30, 

2010. According to the structural characteristic of the 

compounds, the 1159 naturally occurring limonoids 

were divided into 4 major types and 31 subtypes. 

The distribution, synthesis, derived structures, 

biological activity, mechanism of action, structureactivity 

relationship and chemotaxonomy significance 

of meliaceous limonoids are summarized in this 

paper. Meanwhile, the compounds with homonym 

or synonyms of the same material were clarified. 

Furthermore, the paper gave a brief introduction of 

neem’s cultivation and application status in China. 

The research work of meliaceous limonoids 

began in the 1990s (Chinese Patent: ZL96112529.2, J. 

Nat. Prod., 1999, 62, 1022-1024). Prof. WU Da-Gang 

and LUO Xiao-Dong have investigated more than 10 

plant species from Meliaceae and published series of 

novel structures or active compounds with antifeedant 

on different journals. 

Related research works were sponsored by 

NSFC (30000213, 30370160 and 30670214) and 

973 project (2009CB522300). In addition, neem 

plant source of pesticide developed cooperation with 

enterprise obtained "Temporary Pesticide Registration 

Certificate" and allowed to use in AA (organic) grade 

green food production (NY/T393-2000).

Chemical Constituents and their Bioactivities of "Tongling White 

Ginger" (Zingiber officinale) 

New compounds from "Tongling White Ginger", Tongling, Anhui Province, China. 

Tongling (Anhui Province, China) has 

traditionally been regarded as an ideal 

cultivation place (Fig.1-a). "Tongling White 

Ginger" (Fig.1-b) enjoys a reputation for being 

one of the top gingers in China for its thin 

white peel, tender flesh, rich juice and flavor, 

which was, therefore, regarded as “one of the 

eight treasures” in Tongling. However, except 

for the essential oil, no details of the chemical 

profile of "Tongling White Ginger" have been 

reported previously. 

Prof. LIU Ji-Kai launched a detailed 

study on the chemical constituents of an 

ethanol extract of Tongling White Ginger, 

which resulted in the isolation of a total of 42 

compounds including four new ones (Fig.1-c). 

The new compounds 1-4 showed weak 

cytotoxic and anti-HIV-1 activities. Besides, 

three known compounds showed inhibitory 

activities against human and mouse 11-HSD1 

(11-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases) with IC50 

values between 1.09-1.30 mM. 

This research were reported on the Journal 

of Agricultural and Food Chemistry entitled with 

"Chemical Constituents and Their Bioactivities 

of "Tongling White Ginger" (Zingiber officinale)" 

(2011, 59, 11690–11695). This study will be a 

good footstone for the development of Tongling 

White Ginger. 




Comparative Analysis of a Large Dataset Indicates that ITS should be 

Incorporated into the Core Barcode for Seed Plants 

Comparison of discrimination success for the four markers 

(plus ITS2, the partial sequence of ITS) and all 2- to 4-marker 

combinations. 

Comparison of discrimination success for the four markers 

(plus ITS2, the partial sequence of ITS) and all 2- to 4-marker 

combinations based on four different analytical methods. 

DNA barcoding is becoming increasingly important 

for rapid and accurate identification of plant 

species. After a joint international effort, the twomarker 

combination of rbcL+matK was proposed as 

the ‘core’ barcode for land plants in August 2009 by 

CBOL Plant Working Group 2009, and trnH-psbA and 

ITS suggested as supplementary barcodes. To evaluate 

the universality and effectiveness of the four candidate 

barcodes (i.e. rbcL, matK, trnH-psbA and ITS), a coordinated 

effort has been made to further evaluate the 

markers, as a response to the call of the Third International 

Barcoding of Life Conference in 2009. 

A large dataset, involving 6286 individuals representing 

1757 species in 141 genera of 75 families 

of seed plants, was pooled by the China Plant BOL 

Group. Comprehensive analysis of the dataset was 

made to assess the universality, sequence quality and 

discriminatory power of the markers. The results indicated 

that the three chloroplast markers showed higher 

level of universality, while ITS performed moderately 

well in angiosperms, but not so in gymnosperms. As 

to the discriminatory power, ITS provided the highest 

among the four markers, and a combination of ITS 

with any chloroplast DNA marker could improve species 

discrimination significantly with 69.9-79.1% discriminatiory 

power, which was significat higher than 

that of rbcL+matK with 49.7%. In additon, the ITS2 

also showed relatively high discriminatiory power. 

Baed on a compresive evaluation, ITS (or ITS2) together 

with rbcL, matK should be incorporated into 

the core barcode for seed plants. This result have been 

reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of 

Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) (2011, 

108: 19641–19646).

Wei, SHEN Min, SUN Yu-Hong 

Main Participant Unit: KIB Yunnan Yuanyi Horticulture Engineering Co., Ltd. 

Recommendation Unit: Kunming Branch Chinese Academy of Sciences 

Major technology innovations, promotion applications and results of the Project: 

Yunnan has abundant rhododendron resource. However, most species that have been 

put into commodity production are from foreign countries and therefore, are severely 

restricted by foreign companies in the formation and sustainable development of Yunnan 

Province’s rhododendron industry. This is largely due to the high cost for species 

introduction and a lack of independent intellectual property right. Taking Yunnan special 

rhododendron as the object for research with the goal of improving the independent 

innovation ability and industrial level of our province’s rhododendron industry, this project 

has made breakthroughs in comprehensive germplasm assessment, superior germplasm 

seeking, genetic foundation establishment, efficient breeding formation and its matched 

standard production technology system through the systematic research and development 

for nearly 20 years on the basis of the implementation of optional projects as well as three 

subjects at the state and provincial level. It has cultivated 6 new species with independent 

intellectual property rights, obtained 5 national invention patents, formulated 2 industry 

standards (which have been issued), published 16 research papers (5 of which are included 

in SCI) as well as 3 monographs, and won the third prize for provincial science invention 

on two occasions. Its major technology breakthroughs are as follows:

"Longitudinal Range-Gorge Region (LRGR) 'Corridor – Barrier 

Function Rules and Maintaining Mechanism of Ecological System 

Diversity'" Won the First Prize of Natural Science Award of Yunnan 

Province 

Project Name: Longitudinal Range-Gorge Region (LRGR) Corridor-Barrier Function Rules and 

Maintaining Mechanism of Ecological System Diversity 

Main Investigator: HE Da-Ming (Yunnan University), WU Shao-Hong (Institute of Geographic 

Sciences and Natural Resources Research, CAS), PENG Hua (KIB), ZHANG Ya-Ping 

(Kunming Institute of Zoology, CAS), YE Hui (Yunnan University), CHEN Yi-Feng (Institute of 

Hydrobiology, CAS), OU Xiao-Kun (Yunnan University). 

Important scientific discoveries of the Project: 

LRGR, refers to the ridge valley formed with the uplift of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau all through 

Southwest Peninsula and Indo-China Peninsula, characterized with interval landscapes, the main 

part of which is within Yunnan Province and its neighboring regions. LRGR features the richest 

biological diversity in the world, being a key region for the exploration of the major scientific 

propositions involving environmental heterogeneity and biological diversity. Academicians 

including WU Zheng-Yi, CHEN Yi-Yu, TU Guang-Zhi, WU Xin-Zhi and TENG Ji-Wen thought: 

LRGR is the ideal region for the investigation of coupling mechanism and interaction process of 

the global earth-air-water-biology-human system and its corresponding resource and environment 

effects would be signification strategic meanings and scientific research values to the crossborder 

resources and biological safety within the country, Southeast Asian and South Asian areas 

(Ministry of Science and Technology, CAS, People's Government of Yunnan Province, "Yunnan – 

Evolution from the Ancient" (comprehensive academic) Seminar, 2002). 

Through integrated scientific survey, sampling analysis, numerical simulation and other 

systematic researches, the project has revealed the function rules and ecological effect of the 

'Corridor – Barrier' as follows: 

1. Defined the physiognomy pattern concept of "Longitudinal Range-Gorge Region", 

"corridor function and diffusion effect" and the function mechanism of "barrier function and 

barrier effect"; established the LRGR ecological system change and ecological security theory 

system; received the original results in terms of LRGR special environment features, corridorbarrier 

function rules & multi-scale correlation effects, evolution and maintaining mechanism of 

biological diversity, cross-border impact and security control of ecological changes; 




2. Found that the special environment features of LRGR has dominated the circulation and 

the pattern of "water-heat-air" of this region, which showed the obvious corridor-barrier function 

rules: The water vapor of the wet season within this region is primarily caused from the effects 

of the Indian Ocean; in summer, airflow from the Bay of Bengal and the another airflow from the 

South China Sea controlled by the terrain of LRGR would from into two strong updrafts, featuring 

signification zonal variations and relatively uniform longitudinal variations; the high value line 

of NPP at north is consistent with the distribution area of "wet-tongue"; the tropical (ravine) rain 

forest is beyond 24°N and reaches 27-28°N; autocorrelation of the space of potential evaporation 

is significant; 

3. Found the "corridor-barrier" function of LRGR is the key biological mechanism for the 

formation, evolution and maintenance of the biological diversity of this region; the investigation 

on the fish system structure has further proved the mutual isolation time orders of all the water 

systems within the region, e.g. Irrawaddy River and the Yarlung Zangbo River were isolated at 

5.07~4.09 Ma, Lantsang and Salween River were isolated at 2.03~1.97 Ma. Besides, the "corridorbarrier" 

function mechanism has also dominated the path of the biological cross-border invasion, 

diffusion & migration process and distribution pattern, e.g. the temporal and spatial variation rules 

of Bactrocera dorsalis including "horizontal space, vertical communication, island distribution 

and season diffusion"; 

4. Found the signification cross-border impact of the biological system of LRGR is closely 

associated with its corridor function and diffusion effect; defined the main driving factors and 

the multi-scale cross-border ecological effect of the ecological hydrological process changes for 

the international river mainstreams (>3000 km) for the first time; put forward and created the 

comprehensive regulation pattern for the land-frontier cross-border ecological security. 

It published in total 717 papers (including 175 papers in SCI journal, 13 EI papers; 135 papers 

cited by SCI journal for 616 times), 3 representative papers sited by SCI journal for 22 times, the 

total impact factor per paper is 73.68; published 6 monograph series; put forward 1 representative 

paper involving LRGR concept and corridor-barrier function rule mechanism, which was honored 

the title of "Top 100 Most Cited Chinese Papers Published in Domestic Journals 2007"; Ecology 

Top News commented that the establishment of the comprehensive regulation pattern for the landfrontier 

cross-border ecological security "has explored the new visions for the Asian researches"; 

12 high level consulting reports including "Five Kinds of Cross-border Ecological Impacts" 

were published in the Domestic Dynamic Proof, providing scientific proofs for the stipulation 

of relative important national policies, playing an important role in the prevention of disorderly 

development activities within LRGR and offering the decision supports.

The International Training Class of “Seed Storage 

Technology”, subsidized by Bureau of International 

Co-operation CAS, sponsored by KIB and jointly 

hosted by Germplasm Bank of Wild Species, 

Southwest China and MSB, was initiated in Kunming 

during January 17th to 27th. Seventeen students 

from 13 countries, Australia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, 

Egypt, India, Indonesia, Laos, Nepal, Philippines, 

Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong Kong, 

were present. The 7-day training covered the key 

technology adopted during the seed storage processing 

such as seed preservation, seed morphology, seed 

collection, seed cleaning, data management, seed 

germination experiment and seed dormancy, seed 

vigor test, as well as the research and utilization of 

seed. The training class was held to get more countries 

realize the methods and technology of plant diversity 

protection, exchange the means and experience 

involved, make significant contribution to the world 

plant diversity protection and bring benefits for 

posterity. Through the training, KIB achieved further 

understanding of the current situation and shortage 

of the biodiversity conservation in Southeast Asia, 

looked for the opportunity to the “Science diplomacy” 

with countries in Southeast Asia, started to explore 

the cooperative research mechanism in the biological 

resource preservation and plant diversity protection 

and strengthen the communication and long-term 

cooperation with Southeast Asian countries in plant 

diversity protection, as well as seed collection, storage 

and utilization of wild plants. The training took full 

advantage of the international influence of the global 

largest seed bank of wild plants--The Millennium 

Seed Bank and pushed forward the Chinese seed bank 

to keep pace with the British seed bank and enhanced 

the international status of Germplasm Bank of Wild 

Species in Southwest China in the field of global plant 

diversity protection.

Herbarium (KUN) 

The Herbarium, delivers "expanding the range of 

collection and improving the quality of the collection" 

as its strategic goal, organizes tours on plant science 

each year and actively carries out cooperation on 

different projects which have effectively promoted the 

quantity of collection for the Herbarium. In 2011, the 

Herbarium completed the identification and storage of 

32,140 specimens, which brought the quantity of the 

collection up to 1.34 million. 

The Herbarium is considered as a supporting 

department for KIB, providing the specimens to the 

research staff within KIB for reference or borrowing. 

It achieves a full sharing of the specimens and 

this is a core function of the Herbarium. The KIB 

Herbarium is open to botanical research institutes, 

colleges and universities, the departments of forestry 

or environmental protection or individuals from at 

home and abroad and provides this service free. It also 

lends specimens to units that own standard herbarium 

or specimens room and maintains good relationships 

with many famous herbariums from home and abroad 

by exchanging specimens or giving specimens as gifts 

or other forms of contacts. In 2011, the Herbarium 

received a total of 1,105 people who referred to the 

specimens; borrowed and lent 32 batches totaling 

1,828 specimens; exchanged (in or out) 23 batches of 

2,591 specimens and gave and received 9 batches of 

55 copies as gifts. 

At present, to build a digitalized herbarium 

is a key task of our Herbarium. Besides the daily 

task of digilalizing the newly added specimens, 

the Herbarium mainly focused on the clean-up and 

digitalization of holotypes in 2011. It completed the 

digitalization of 9,281 holotypes of vascular plants 

of 3,011 species of 815 genera of 194 families and 

this laid a solid foundation for a better preservation 

and utilization of the holotypes in the furure. In 2011, 

there was a total number of 36,147 independent IPs 

visited the Herbarium, which ranked number 2 among 

the domestic herbariums, and a number of more than 2 

milliion of page views of the websites, which randed 

number one among the domestic herbariums. 

In order to help strengthen the capability of the 

National Natural Preservation of Yunnan Province and 

the exchanges and cooperation between the Institute 

and the Preservation, the Herbarium actively projected 

the technical trainings for some research staff of the 

Preservation in 2011. During September to November, 

three phases of training were held, where there were 

11 technical personnel from Wenshan National Natural 

Preservation of Yunnan Province and Jingdong 

Mount Wuliang National Natural Preservation of 

Yunnan Province attended to the training, and this will 

continue in the near future. 

In addition to doing well within the supporting 

work, the Herbarium also actively sought for projects 

of different kinds and strenghtened the basic research. 

In 2011, the Herbarium contined to undertake the the 

sub-topic of the germplasm resources pool with RMB 

300,000 as its fund; acquired one horizontal project 

funded by the Yunnan Weihe Pharmaceutical Group 

for the systematic investigation of the plants resources 

in Nanjian County; besides, three projects of the senior 

engineer WANG Li-Song were aquired a fund of more 

than 1 million. The staff of the Herbarium issued eight 

papers, six of which were published in the SCI-rated 

journals, while two were published in the CSCD-rated 

journals. 

Science & Technology Information Center

the publicity, education and management of the super 

calculation branch in Kunming, which improved 

the service time and share rate of the instruments; 

The center got more involved with the deign and 

discussion of the storage branch in Kunming, which 

effectively facilitated the construction of the branch. 

In terms of literature and intelligence, by taking full 

advantage of the existing information and technology, 

the center combined reasonably the "buy" with the 

"construction", developing literature tools, providing 

consultations, which made the literature sufficiency 

rate over 90%, and the center was awarded the title of 

"The Excellent Team in Providing Innovative Services 

of Literature and Intelligence of CAS". In respect of 

the construction of the network, the center realized an 

effective planning and timely maintenance and update 

to the network, which ensured that all news and 

information could be examined and released promptly 

and provided a platform to exchange information for 

departments within or beyond KIB, and provided a 

good showcase for the publicity towards the outside 

world. In regard to ARP, the center kept maintenance 

for eight ARP servers to make sure the smooth 

operation of the system, and we duly updated and 

maintained the system on the receipt of ARP updating 

patches from the network center, solved common 

problems which occurred to key user client increasing 

the efficacy of the work of the technical supporting 

in a comprehensive way. As for the build of database, 

the center accomplished the build and update of the 

database of the information of plant species, bar 

code database of the plants' DNA, the database of 

medical plants and the database of wild germplasm 

resources. Particularly, the page view of the database 

of the information of plant species was the best among 

the science database websites of CAS, while the 

information and management system of germplasm 

resources acquired the software copyright. 

In summary, initial results have been achieved 

in different supporting platforms of Basic Internet, 

Literature Resources, Scientific Data, Supercalculation, 

ARP Management and the Information

Kunming Botanical Garden's Horticulture Center 

1. Team Building 

Under the leadership of David Sim Paterson, 

Director of the Horticulture Center, the Center 

was restructured and reorganized. A team was 

formed, comprising of a hierarchic internationalized 

management structure with the Director delivering 

the core leadership, supported by an assistant director, 

technical staff, students and provincial employedseasonal 

workers. Under this new structure, the 

team greatly improved its work efficiency with clear 

responsibility for each level in the hierarchic level. 

2. The Construction and Renovation of the 

Park’s Landscape 

(1) The Renovation of the Rock Garden: In order 

to effectively control weeds, 30cm depth of soil was 

removed from zones not used for plant cultivation. 

These zones were sealed with porous black isolation 

membranes and then top-dressed stones. The quantity 

of stone used is as follows: 24.56T of red sandstones, 

8 m 3 of weathered grate stones, 105, 8 m 3 of cobble 

stones and 14.6m 3 of sands. A small artificial waterfall 

was constructed by taking advantage of the existing 

terrain, and this added sound and movement to the 

Rock Garden. 

(2) The Indoor Renovation to the Old 

Greenhouse of the Camellia Garden: It is one of 

the oldest greenhouses of KBG. In common with 

with the renovation of the Camellia Garden, 

indoor paths and terrain have all been repaired 

using similar landscape materials. A new circular 

permeable sightseeing trail, 100m long and 

100cm in width has been paved. A 13.0m by 1.5m 

pond and an artificial limestone waterfall, with 

2.5m free-fall have been built. This not only 

increases the humidity of the glasshouse but 

also brings a three-dimensional visual effect for 

the landscape andincreases the two-dimensional 

terrain (of 140 m 3 ) quite significantly. This not 

only improves the landscape, but also increases 

the cultivation area. The Garden introduces 

23 kinds of tropical camellia, including the 

Congzuo Camellia chrysantha that has been 

recently brought into cultivation, and three kinds 

of Vietnamese C. chrysantha. A greenhouse 

for the cultivation and conservation of yellow 

camellia, which belongs to the family of tropical 

camellia, has also been built. 

(3) The Landscape Construction of Medicinal 

Herb Garden: Hardware such as sightseeing trails, 

toilets, offices, administrative hall (Medicinal Herb 

Garden), pergola corridors and bulletins for the 

dissemination of science were updated and renovated 

at the end of 2009, which brings a new terrain and 

physiognomy to the Garden. After the completion of 

construction work which was concerned with the civil 

engineering aspects, attention was paid to the soft 

landscaping of the garden, , We gave full consideration 

to the harmony between the natural configuration 

of plants for medical purposes and the landscape 

design, adopting a scientific and rational way of using 

space, while displaying annual plants and perennial 

herbal medical plants from an aesthetic viewpoint 

to form a miniature natural landscape. We took both 

the placement of medical plants and the education 

and dissemination of science into account. This 

resulted in the formation of 10 planting areas, each 

of an unique style for the display of medical plants 

and included, "Shengnong Herbs", "Herbs of South 

Yunnan", "Traditional Medical Plants", "Aromatic 

Medical Plants", and "Peony". The Garden holds and 

conserves a total of 1,235 different kinds of medical 

plants and there are some 140,000 individual plants. 

The renovated garden has become tranquil and elegant 

with a rich scientific connotation and a profound 

cultural heritage. It is an idea place for carrying out 

observation and research, teaching and learning and 

for the dissemination of the knowledge concerning 

medical plants. Additionally, it is a relaxing place for 

leisure and amenity. 

(4) The Replanting of Groundcovers of the 

Magnolia Garden: Replanted a 13,000 m 2 

of 

groundcovers, planted 90,000 plants of 17 kinds such 

as Schefflera octophylla, Fatsia japonica, Aspidistra 



49



elatior, Polystichum yunnanense, Nephrolepis 

cordifolia and Pteris multifida. 

(5) The Project of Building a Grand Greenhouse 

for the Fu Li Palace: This was a special repair project 

in 2011 and actual construction commenced in June 

2011. A group of greenhouses with a total area of 

6,500 m 2 was build. This included a main greenhouse, 

primarily for cultivation and conservation, which 

covers a total area of 4100 m 2 . In addition, a further 

area of 2400 m 2 was built as a series of smaller houses 

and includes: An artificial climate greenhouse; a 

greenhouse for observing the isolated alien plants 

introduced; a greenhouse for the breeding, cultivation 

and conservation of the plants and a green house 

for aquatic plants. The combined costs of these 

greenhouses was RMB 17.75 million. After the 

renovation is complete, the Fu Li Palace will mainly 

consider collecting, cultivating, conserving and 

displaying strategic biological resources from tropical 

or subtropical regions from at home and abroad. It will 

also take into consideration the collection, cultivation 

and conservation of plants living under special and 

extreme conditions. The main greenhouse will try 

to present the historical and cultural background 

of the Palace, and will consider showing mainly 

tropical precious and famous fruits of lichees as the 

representative and rare flowers and exotic woods, 

while taking into consideration the cultivation and 

conservation of germplasm resources of allied 

species of tropical and famous fruits and vegetables. 

The function of the other greenhouses is to collect, 

cultivate and conserve, and show strategic biological 

resources form tropical and subtropical regions of the 

world (mainly foreign). 

3. Popular Science Education and Openingup 

Management 

KBG received tourists of 473,000 in 2011, held 

a photography contest entitled, "I Love the Floral 

Emblem-Camellias", and held 10 popular science 

lectures of large scale, including, "Pupils Recall 

Preceding Scientists", "A Tour on the Mystery of 

the Plants for the Purpose of Science Population" 

and "Common Sense of Placing and Conserving 

Household Plant"s. 

4. Other Work 

(1) Data of KBG: The Item of the Cataloging 

and Information Standardization of the Off Site 

Plant Conservation of KIB is well under way, and in 

2011, 5,920 entries of data and 7,000 images of this 

item have been recorded into the Data Management 

Platform. 

(2) Surveys on the Camellia Garden: By the 

method of Investigation to Each Plant, data of the 

height of each camellia, the base circumference 

of the trunk, the crown diameter were measured 

and corresponding notes were recorded, 27,187 

photographs were took and the geographic 

coordination of 5,037 camellias were recorded after 

precise positioning.

Germplasm Conservation Center 

By the end of 2011, Germplasm Conservation 

Center has collected and preserved 7,471 species of 

wild plant seeds (196 families, 1,744 genera) with 

total accessions of 53,344. The number of the seeds 

preserved accounts for 25% of the total number of 

wild seed plants within China, and which equals to 

the number of seeds of 50,369 held by the Millennium 

Seeds Bank in the UK (statistics of September 2011). 

The Center conducted 5,000 routine germination 

experimentations of 3,765 quotas of 250 batches in a 

standard manner, the number of which is twice that of 

the last year. The pass rate of these experimentations 

is 65.5% with a germination rate higher than 75%. 

In 2011, the Center coordinately gathered 33 

cooperation units with running costs for key scientific 

facilities by the CAS, the number of which was 4 more 

than the year 2010. The Center successfully held two 

sessions of Technical Training for Seeds Preservation, 

one in an international range, the other regional. There 

were technology executives from 15 Administrations 

of National Natural Preservation Zones of 13 countries 

and regions participating in the training for intensive 

study, which played a positive role in promoting the 

protection of biodiversity of our country. 

The Center provided specimens of wild botanic 

seeds of 6,286 samples of 1,757 species of 141 genera 

of 75 families to the China Plant BOL Group, each 

kind with 2 samples, which helped their papers issue

Lijiang Forest Ecosystem Research Station 

During the construction and development of the 

Station for one year or more, the Lijiang Research 

Platform, including Lijiang Alpine Botanical Garden, 

Lijiang Forest Ecosystem Research Station (contains 

field workstations under international cooperation and 

KIB office in Lijiang) have achieved gratifying results. 

In July 2011, a supporting team and administrative 

personnel of the office under Lijiang Forest Ecosystem 

Research Station consisting of XU Kun, WU Zhi-Kun, 

CHEN Zhi-Fa, LIU De-Tuan, LIU Wei-Wei (station), 

YANG Ying-Hong, He Li-Juan (office) were founded. 

Rules and regulations were established and improved, 

training to relative personnel was undertaken, and a 

system for observing, analyzing and researching to 

water, soil, weather and biology was initially built. 

The work of instruments procurement, installation 

and adjustment, data collection and the maintenance 

and test runs of the instruments were completed in 

2011. This was done on the basis of the development 

and needs of Lijiang Forest Ecosystem Research 

Station, and in order to improve the utilization and 

sharing rate of the instruments, as well as according 

to the requirements of building national ecological 

stations that are formulated by the National Ecosystem 

Observation Network CERN (to integrate and 

regularize resources of field observation and research 

bases, observation equipment, data as well as the 

observation of human resources). According to a list 

of instruments recommended to procuring by the 

management center of CERN, the workstations are 

equipped with Finnish VaisalaMAW310 automatic 

weather station, Shanghai Artificial Weather Station 

for Long Distance Watching, American Davis Pro2 

Wireless Weather Station, American licor-6400 

Photosynthetic Instrument, Fluorescent Leaf Room, 

oven, tachometry, water meter; Soil Moisture 

Determination System; GPS, altimeter, soil drilling, 

cutting ring, forest compass, dissecting microscope, 

high resolution microscope, analytical balance and pH 

meter. 

During the development and construction of 

Lijiang Alpine Botanical Garden, we continued to 

collect germplasm resources and built breeding bases 

of alpine and sub-alpine species under key protection 

in the Northwest Yunnan (cultivation pilot areas, 

conservation areas and display areas); we emphasized 

on the protection of the germplasm resources of wild 

plants, which were rare and endangered, unique and 

of economic values, and the special collection of in 

vivo garden; we built a wild plants breeding system, an

Station 

appraisal system of the adaptability to the physiology 

and zoology, and made research on key biological 

technology; we recovered the ecology of the biological 

environment that had already been destructed and 

the recurrence of the wild species; we established 

specimens archives and database of species under 

key protection; we also collected especially the alpine 

flowers such as azaleas and primulas and other medical 

plants. 

In 2011, we newly built a collection garden of 

2000 azaleas of 60 kinds, we sowed 155 baskets of 

azaleas of 54 kinds by sand sowing and soil sowing, 

and took daily care of them, and we transplanted 

10,000 pots of seedlings to the grand greenhouse after 

they grew up to a certain extent, and transplanted 

7,000 pots of grown-up seedlings to the nursery of 

the botanical garden. We organized 6 business trips to 

places such as Dali Cangshan, Gongshan, Zhongdian 

and Tengchong, and organized 20 tours of observation 

to areas outside the botanical garden of Yulong Snow 

Mountain, during which we collected 45 quotas of 



53



seeds and 30 kinds of living plants of 

primulas, and 68 quotas of seeds of 

10 kinds of plants of other families. 

In 2011, we completed the 

surveying and mapping of Lijiang 

Alpine Botanical Garden, and the 

digital surveying and mapping of 

4,300 Mu of forest lands, which 

took multiple technical supporting 

measures such as the 80 coordinate 

system, Lijiang 97 coordinate system 

of urban construction, and GPS 

technical points for comprehensive 

observation and surveying, forming 

11 pictures of 1:2000 results, and 23 

pictures of three subdivided areas 

of A, B, C of 1:500 results. The 

surveying and mapping coverage was 

4.25 square kilometers, and the results 

met the demands for the digitalized 

construction of botanical garden, the 

surveying and mapping of forest’s 

ecology for scientific research and the 

construction of the infrastructures for 

scientific research as the supporting 

planning, seen as the background 

data has laid a solid foundation for 

the development of Lijiang Alpine 

Botanical Garden in the long term. 

At the end of 2011, the 

Competitive Negotiation Meeting 

of the Infrastructure Maintenance 

Projects was held at the KIB Office 

in Lijiang, hosted by the KIB Office 

according to the arrangement of 

the Infrastructure Assembly, which 

decided KIB as a unit in implementing 

the Water Supplying Project, 

Irrigation Project and the construction 

of the Meteorological Observation 

Field as the Supporting Facilities of 

the Lijiang Alpine Botanical Garden 

of the 2012 renovation projects. 

KIB office in Lijiang received 

200 or more scientific researchers and 

executives from at home and abroad, 

and presided over and assisted in the 

convening of the Conference of the 

Graduate School CAS in August, the 

Conference of the Network Center of

attend the Lijiang Seminar in November, the visitation of the leaders of 

KIB to guide our work in October, and assisted the scientific researcher 

and graduate students with their observation and experiments form 

January to November. 

During the construction and development of the platforms, we 

began the project of the Research on the Status Quo, the Speed, the 

Mechanism and the Potential of the Fixed Carbon of the Alpine and 

Sub-alpine Forest in the Northwest Yun-nan (2011-2016), and carried 

out projects of the DNA Barcodes of the Plants in Lijiang Alpine 

Botanical Garden, the Construction of the Breeding Bases of Lijiang

Cloud Angelicas, and it is predicted that this year there will carry out 

the construction of 25 hectares of sample plot in a large scale, and 

relative satellite plots and altitudinal gradient sample plots. Besides, 

we also participated in the Construction of the Research System of the 

Biodiversity Station of Yunnan, which formed the forest sample belt 

for contrastive research in a north-south direction of Yunnan, and also 

formed a typical forest ecosystem of the southwest monsoon region. 

Each station has its unique features, while is also complementary to 

each other. We will carry out joint research on stations' network, find 

and solve major scientific problems on the basis of sharing resources,
