Jin Y., Li Y.Q., and He B.W., 2024, Advances in cultivation techniques of herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora) 'Hang Baishao' and their impact on yield and quality, Medicinal Plant Research, 14(6): 308-319 (doi: 10.5376/mpr.2024.14.0026)

Paeonia lactiflora 'Hang Baishao' is widely used in the medical field for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties and holds a significant position in horticultural landscaping. This study systematically explores traditional and modern techniques to optimize cultivation practices and enhance the yield and quality of Paeonia lactiflora 'Hang Baishao'. The study revealed that low-temperature treatments combined with plant growth regulators significantly improved flowering performance and medicinal component content. Moreover, the application of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) models effectively selected high-quality germplasm suitable for various climatic conditions. The introduction of tissue culture technology overcame the inefficiency of traditional propagation methods, providing technical support for large-scale production and genetic improvement. Innovations in the cultivation of Paeonia lactiflora 'Hang Baishao' not only promote the broad application of this species but also serve as a reference for introducing other temperate plants. Future research should focus on integrating genetic regulation and smart agriculture to further optimize cultivation systems.
