绞股蓝人参皂甙的组织化学定位及其含量的变化

应用光镜技术、组织化学定位及植物化学方法，研究了人参皂甙在绞股蓝营养器官中的积累分布状态以及不同生长期、不同器官、不同性别之间的绞股蓝总皂甙含量的动态变化。结果表明，绞股蓝人参皂甙主要分布在营养器官的同化组织及韧皮部薄壁细胞中，厚角组织、表皮及周皮的栓内层也有少量分布，木质部和髓薄壁组织中无皂甙分布；叶中皂甙积累最多，茎次之，根最少。绞股蓝在营养生长期→花果期→枯萎期的生长发育过程中，其地上部分的皂甙含量呈现出低→高→低的变化趋势；叶的含量高于茎，雄株的含量高于雌株。从而认为在9—10月的花果期采收绞股蓝的地上部分而保留地下茎和根，有利于药材品质和产量的提高，又有利于药用资源的可持续开发利用。

Histochemical localization of ginsenosides in Gynostemma pentaphyllum and the content changes of total gypenosides]

The light microscopy technique, histochemistry and phytochemistry methods were applied in the study of the localization of gingsenosides in the vegetative organs in Gynostemma pentaphyllum, and the content of total gypenosides related to different growing periods, organs and genders. The results showed that ginsenosides distributed mainly in the assimilating tissue and phloem parenchyma cells, very little in collenchyma, epidermis and phelloderm, and no coloration in xylem and pith parenchyma. The accumulation of gingsenosides in the leaf occupied first place, the stem came second, and the root was the lowest. The content of total gypenosides showed a changing trend from low to high, then to low, during the whole growing period from vegetative growth to florescence and fructescence, and withering period. The content in leaf is higher than that in stem, and of male is higher than of female. It is suggested that harvest the above-ground parts only and remaining the rhizome and root in florescence and fructescence (Sept. to Oct.) is of benefit to both improving herbal quality and quantity, and accelerating the sustainable utilization for wild resources.
