Effect of inorganic element in soil on contents of inorganic elements and baicalin in Scutellaria baicalensis from different regions / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the effect of inorganic element in soil on the content of inorganic elements and baicalin in Scutellaria baicalensis from different regions. Methods: The content of baicalin, inorganic elements, and inorganic elements in the soil in S. baicalensis of four regions (Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Gansu provinces) was determined and analyzed by SPSS 17.0 software. Results: The sequence of the content of baicalin in S. baicalensis from different regions was Chengde Hebei > Yuncheng Shanxi > Linyi Shandong > Dingxi Gansu. The content of K, Fe, and Mg were high in S. baicalensis. S. baicalensis from different regions was positively correlated with the inorganic elements in the soil. Among them, the correlation coefficient of the S. baicalensis from Linyi in Shandong province and the inorganic elements in soil was 0.953 which showed positive correlation significantly. Baicalin only positively correlated with K, Fe, and Mn; It negatively correlated with Cu, Zn, and Mg. Conclusion: The content of inorganic elements in the soil have a certain influence on the content of inorganic elements in S. baicalensis, and it also has a certain related trend with the content of baicalin.
