Abstract

Main conclusion: Optimizing environmental factors can significantly increase the growth and secondary metabolite synthesis of hydroponically grown medicinal plants. This approach can help increase the quality and quantity of pharmacologically important metabolites to enhance therapeutic needs. Medicinal plants are key therapeutic sources for treating various ailments. The increasing demand for medicinal plants has resulted in the overharvesting of these plants in their natural habitat, which can lead to their extinction in the future. Soil-based cultivation faces challenges, such as a lack of arable land, drastic climatic changes, and attacks by soil-borne pathogens. To overcome these challenges, hydroponic cultivation, known as soilless cultivation, is a sustainable method. The yield and quality of medicinal plants depend on environmental factors, such as nutrients, pH, electrical conductivity, temperature, light, nanoparticles, phytohormones, and microorganisms. This article explores the impact of these environmental factors on the growth and secondary metabolite content of hydroponically grown medicinal plants. Our review reveals how environmental factors qualitatively and quantitatively influence the growth and secondary metabolites of medicinal plants grown in hydroponic systems and how these factors can be integrated into the enhancement of therapeutic compounds.

影响水培药用植物生长和次生代谢产物的因素综述。

主要结论：优化环境因子可显著促进水培药用植物的生长和次生代谢产物的合成。这种方法可以帮助提高药理学上重要代谢物的质量和数量，以提高治疗需求。药用植物是治疗各种疾病的重要治疗来源。对药用植物日益增长的需求导致了这些植物在其自然栖息地的过度采伐，这可能导致它们在未来灭绝。土壤耕作面临着各种挑战，例如缺乏可耕地、剧烈的气候变化和土壤传播病原体的袭击。为了克服这些挑战，水培栽培，即无土栽培，是一种可持续的方法。药用植物的产量和质量取决于环境因素，如营养物质、pH值、电导率、温度、光、纳米颗粒、植物激素和微生物。本文探讨了这些环境因素对水培药用植物生长和次生代谢物含量的影响。我们的综述揭示了环境因素如何定性和定量地影响水培系统中药用植物的生长和次生代谢产物，以及如何将这些因素整合到增强治疗化合物中。
