2018, Journal of Plant Chemistry and Ecophysiology
Podophyllum hexandrum (Bankakdi) is a very important high valued temperate medicinal plant which is known for its medicinal property in treatment of specific types of cancers. The species is in great demand and is being harvested from the wild indiscriminately. The species needs immediate attention for its protection and conservation. Keeping in view of the above facts, after extensive survey, 30 sites were identified for collection of Podophyllum hexandrum species from different geographical locations of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir states in India. Each site was geo-referenced along with characterization of micro-habitat. On the basis of high podophyllotoxin content, the superior chemotypes of P. hexandrum were identified.
