Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz. ex Ledeb.) Schischk. (Apiaceae) is a perennial monocarpic herbaceous plant, the only species of the Far Eastern, Daurian, and Mongolian genus Saposhnikovia Schischk. The roots of this plant are widely used in China, Korea, and Japan as an effective anti-inflammatory for arthralgia, rheumatism, generalized ache and headaches, strokes, fevers, colds and allergic rhinitis, as well as an analgesic, anti-Parkinsonian, and in multi-component herbal preparations. The high demand of S. divaricata products has raised the problem of sustainable use and conservation of the species due to the mass and unregulated harvesting of the roots of this plant. As an effective solution to this problem, ex situ and in situ methods of cultivation and clonal micropropagation can be developed. This would support the conservation of this species, and the recovery of its natural populations, and would also facilitate the production of valuable raw materials for pharmaceutical needs. Currently available data on this plant's successful cultivation and clonal propagation are fragmentary and not systematic. This review aims to summarize the latest data on S. divaricata in order to elucidate the main findings helpful for further progress in development of ex situ and in vitro cultivation of the species. A review of in situ, ex situ, and in vitro cultivation methods, as well as biotechnological aspects, including the engineering of metabolic pathways, is essential to ensure the conservation of the species and its sustainable use.

Saposhnikovia divaricata (Apiaceae) – важный компонент Восточной традиционной медицины: современное состояние исследований, опыт культивирования и биотехнологический потенциал (обзор). Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz. ex Ledeb.) Schischk. (Apiaceae) – многолетнее монокарпическое травянистое растение, единственный вид дальневосточно-даурско-монгольского рода Saposhnikovia Schischk. Корни этого растения широко используются в Китае, Корее и Японии в качестве эффективного противовоспалительного средства для лечения артралгии, ревматизма, генерализованных и головных болей, при инсультах, лихорадке, простудных заболеваниях и аллергических ринитах, а также как анальгезирующее, противопаркинсоническое средство и в составе многокомпонентных сборах. Высокий спрос населения на фитопрепараты на основе S. divaricatа привел к проблеме рационального использования и сохранения вследствие массовых нерегулируемых заготовок корней этого растения. Эффективным решением данной проблемы может быть разработка методов (ex situ, in situ) сохранения вида для восстановления природных популяций, способов плантационного культивирования и клонального микроразмножения с целью получения ценного сырья для фармацевтических нужд. Имеющиеся на сегодня сведения об успешном опыте возделывания растения, методиках клонального размножения фрагментарны, не систематизированы. Целью настоящего обзора является обобщение имеющихся сведений о таксономии и экологии, молекулярно-генетических и биотехнологических достижениях по S. divaricatа. Обзор методов культивирования in situ, ex situ и in vitro, биотехнологических аспектов, включая инженерию метаболических путей, имеет большое значение для определения перспективных направлений и конкретных задач будущих исследований, которые необходимы для обеспечения сохранения вида и его устойчивого использования.
