Inoculation experiments of Cistanche tubulosa on 8 introduced Tamarix species / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the inoculation ratio and echinacoside content of Cistanche tubulosa and provide theoretical basis for Tamarix introduction, resource protection and screening of C. tubulosa.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>8 Tamarix species were introduced in the North China Plain and inoculation of C. tubulosa was conducted on all species. Phenylethanoid glycosides fingerprinting and echinacoside content of C. tubulosa were analyzed by using HPLC.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The adaptability of 8 Tamarix species were significantly different, phenylethanoid glycosides component of C. tubulosa on T. gansuensis and T. austromongolica were basically identical in contrast to T. chinensis, echinacoside content showed no obvious difference in C. tubulosa plant growing 4 months.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>T. gansuensis and T. Austromongolica are suitable for the host introduction plant of C. tubulosa resource protection and screening in North China Plain.</p>

Studied of dry matter accumulation and echinacoside content of Cistanche tubulosa in Huabei plain / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To give some theory support of Cistanche tubulosa cultivation by searching dry matter accumulation and echinacoside content of C. tubulosa.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Dry matter accumulation content of C. tubulosa culturing in Huabei plain was analysed in different growth season of C. tubulosa. Echinacoside content was determined by HPLC.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Dry matter accumulation of C. tubulosa showed "S" variation. Dry matter accumulation increased fastest in September among growing seasons. Dry matter amount was 138.58 g after C. tubulosa grew a year. Dry matter amount decreased significantly along with inoculation time retarded. Echinacoside content was 30.59% when C. tubulosa grew in 5 months, decreased guadully after that, and 9.76% in annual.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Variation rule of dry matter accumulation and echinacoside content was found in C. tubulosa that grew one year in Huabei plain.</p>
