A collection of 70 randomly selected three-year-old Panax notoginseng plants was analyzed
to evaluate the germplasmic resources of cultivated notoginseng. The results obtained
indicated that the individual plants of P. notoginseng were greatly diversified not only in
saponin contents, but also in morphological features. It was further proven that, after
hundreds years of cultivation, notoginseng has become a mixed farm cultivar with very large
variations occurring. This high variance in saponin contents implies the possibility for …
