In recent years, with the deterioration of the whole habitat and excessive harvesting and logging, wild resources are decreasing in a large area, and some areas are even exhausted.
The groups of Tibetan Medicine research and development & molecular breeding of Triticeae had studied about Black wolfberry.The study includes variation of anthocyanin content in fruits of wild and cultivated Lycium ruthenicum, the relationship between Functional MYB transcription factor encoding gene AN2 and anthocyanin biosynthesis in Lycium ruthenicum Murray, its antioxidant activity and Ultrasonic extraction of anthocyanins from Lycium ruthenicum Murr, and its Phytochemical profiles, nutritional constituents and antioxidant activity.And results have been published.
