白刺(Nitraria tangutorum Bobrov.)属于白刺科白刺属植物，是一种耐旱、喜盐的植物，因其良好的经济和生态价值而受到人们的关注。唐古特猪笼草作为我国荒漠和半荒漠地区的主要群种和优势种之一，具有较强的耐干旱、高温、严寒、贫瘠、高盐碱度、风沙等能力。其根系发达，分枝多，发芽能力强。唐古特兰一旦埋入沙土中，就能迅速产生大量不定根，形成新的植株，并不断扩大灌木丛，形成固定和半固定的灌木沙丘。沙丘灌木可以截留和固定大量流沙，防止沙漠扩张和侵蚀，对维持区域生态系统平衡、改善生态环境质量具有重要作用。此外，植物化学筛选研究表明，唐古特兰含有丰富的多种化合物，包括黄酮类、生物碱、酚酸和多糖。这些化合物具有抗氧化、抗炎、抗肿瘤、抗疲劳、保肝、神经保护、心血管保护、降血脂、调节血糖水平和免疫调节等一系列有益的生物活性。 N. tangutorum 的果实还含有维生素 C、氨基酸、矿物质和微量元素。它传统上被用作营养食品来源，并在民间医学中用于治疗脾胃疾病、月经不调、消化不良和高脂血症。唐古特兰作为一种药食同源的野生植物，具有显着的经济和药用价值。这篇详细、全面的综述收集并呈现了唐古特猪笼草的形态结构、繁殖特性、抗性生理和开发利用等相关信息，为研究人员今后深入开展唐古特猪笼草研究提供了理论基础。 ©2024 李等人。

Nitraria tangutorum Bobrov., belonging to the family Nitrariaceae, is a drought-tolerant and salt-loving plant and has drawn attention for its good economic and ecological value. As one of the main group species and dominant species in China's desert and semi-desert regions, N. tangutorum possesses superior tolerance to drought, high temperature, cold, barren, high salinity and alkalinity and wind and sand. Its root system is well developed, with many branches and a strong germination capacity. Once buried in sandy soil, N. tangutorum can quickly produce a large number of adventitious roots, forming new plants and continuously expanding the shrubs, forming fixed and semi-fixed shrub sand dunes. Sand dune shrubs can trap and fix a large amounts of quicksand, prevent desert expansion and erosion, and play an important role in maintaining regional ecosystem balance and improving ecological environmental quality. In addition, the phytochemical screening studies report that N. tangutorum contains an abundance of various compounds including flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolic acids and polysaccharides. These compounds confer a range of beneficial bioactivities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-fatigue, liver protection, neuroprotection, cardiovascular protection, lowering blood lipid, regulating blood sugar level and immunoregulation. The fruits of N. tangutorum also contain vitamin C, amino acids, minerals and microelements. It has been traditionally used as a nutritional food source and in folk medicine to treat diseases of the spleen and stomach, abnormal menstruation, indigestion, and hyperlipidemia. N. tangutorum, as a wild plant with medicinal and edible homology, possesses remarkable economic and medicinal values. This detailed, comprehensive review gathers and presents all the information related to the morphological structure, propagation characteristics, resistance physiology and exploitation and utilization of N. tangutorum, providing a theoretical basis for the researchers to conduct future in-depth research on N. tangutorum.©2024 Li et al.
