ABSTRACT
This article was aimed to carry a comparative study on the quality of 16 populations of wild herbs of rare and endangered plant ofPsammosilene tunicoidesin order to provide a basis for its domestication, GAP and selective breeding. Methods for determination of moisture content, total ash and extract content were taken in this comparative study. The results showed that different populations had different moisture content, total ash and extract content. The moisture content and the total ash ofXiang-Shan population were the lowest; and the extract content was the highest. The total ash ofLiu-De population was the highest; and the extract content was the lowest. The moisture content ofShun-Zhou population was the highest. It was concluded that different populations had different quality among 16 populations of wild herbs. Therefore, there was a probability to choose the best population.
ABSTRACT
This paper mainly introduced the resource situation including contents and methods of resource protection about rare and endangered characteristic medicinal species in Chinese She nationality. In the meanwhile, authors had summarized and analyzed the kinds and distribution, medicinal value, and present situation of resources protection about the medicinal species which are rare and endangered, characteristic, sharply reduced, and relative scarce. Then, the resources information and corresponding countermeasures and suggestions were provided in the view of the existing problems.
