Five species of Chaenomeles Lind1. (Rosaceae), originated in East Asia, and five species (three endemic) with diversity varieties of Chaenomeles in China, as one of the medicinal and ornamental plant resources, had been cultivated since from 2 000 years ago, usually considered as one of the Chinese Traditional Medicine materials. Four species ( and some varieties) of Chaenomeles growing in Yunnan province, have the higher potential used as medicines and nutritional food supplements. The ethnic minorities in Yunnan have accumulated enough experiences and indigenous knowledge of utilization of Chaenomeles fruits in aspects of medicine purposes, environmental conservation purpose and cash income increase; while in terms of the new variation of horticulture cultivation, new products industrialization, the gap still existed comparing with other developed area. The expected objectives of mountainous agriculture ecological environment improvement, rural people cash-income increase, and harmonious development of ethic region can be reached during the process of agriculture structural adjustment with the help of investigation, exploitation on indigenous knowledge system on Chaenomeles, coupled with modern chemical analytical techniques,or combining the both approaches, and the traditional Chaenomeles cultivation patter characterized with the proper environment benefits.%蔷薇科(Rosaceae)木瓜属(Chaenomeles)植物共有5种,我国全产.该属为重要观赏植物和果品,世界各地均有栽培.木瓜在我国栽培历史悠久,是重要的中药材品种.云南木瓜属植物4种,种下品种较多,大多品质优良,具有较高的药用、营养保健开发潜力.云南民族民间利用植物于医疗保健、生态防护和增加经济收入方面均十分看好木瓜资源的潜力;但与其他发达地区相比,在品种培育、产业开发方面仍然有一定的差距.进一步加快调查、整理、发掘云南民族民间开发利用木瓜资源的传统知识体系,与现代化学分析手段相结合,发挥木瓜传统栽培模式的生态和经济效益,促进云南木瓜资源综合开发利用技术进步,将会在农业结构调整中,为云南山区农业生态环境改善、农民增收、民族地区繁荣与和谐发展做出贡献.
