中文摘要：

锦鸡儿属（Caragana）植物全世界约有100多种,是重要的资源植物.本文对21世纪该属植物在物种分布、解剖生态、形态与生理生态、生殖生态、遗传多样性、基因表达和分子调控以及开发利用等方面的研究进行了综述.并在总结现有研究结果的基础上,对本属植物今后的研究方向提出了初步的构想.

英文摘要：

There are more than 100 Caragana species worldwide.They are important resource plants.The studies on the species distribution,anatomy ecology,morphological and physiological ecology,reproductive ecology,genetic diversity,gene expression and molecular regulation of Caragana in the 21st century were summarized here.On the basis of the existing researches,the future research direction was conceived preliminarily.
