Radiation lines of Dioscorea antioxidant enzyme activities and diosgenin content analysis.doc

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 Radiation lines of Dioscorea antioxidant enzyme activities and diosgenin content analysis OF: ECONOMIC ANIMAL 1, Li Xia Zhu, high mountains, white rain, white goose [Abstract] Objective Dioscorea improve the quality of medicine. Methods of tissue culture, irradiation received on Dioscorea lines were antioxidant enzyme activities and diosgenin content. Results obtained by strain SOD mutation , POD and APX activity in specific activity compared with the control lines vary greatly, most of the Radiation Lines of diosgenin content in excess of the control lines, but plantlets and seedlings a year related to diosgenin content was not obvious. conclusions obtained by irradiation induced strain in scavenging reactive oxygen species and the active ingredient with the control showed significant differences, indicating that irradiation can be used as Dioscorea way good breeding. [Keywords:] Dioscorea; radiation mutagenesis; antioxidant enzyme activity; diosgenin Dioscorea D. zingibiernsis CHWright. Is Dioscoreaceae Dioscorea rhizome, also known as turmeric, attempting roots, its roots in the content of diosgenin is generally about 2%, is the world’s best source of plant hormone medicines . both Qingfeizhike, dampness Tonglin, Tongluo pain, swelling of the function of detoxification, can cure Hyperactivity cough, heat cream pain, rheumatism, back pain, malignant sore boils, bruises, sprains, insect bites bee sequestration; The water-soluble steroidal saponins on myocardial ischemia, Chest, hyperlipidemia and other significant therapeutic effect. Dioscorea is a unique resource of plants, is the world’s highest diosgenin content types, the highest per plant to 16.5%, exceeding the world’s trump card - the Mexican yam flower spike to 15% on record. According to a survey of 10 provinces and cities have Dioscorea distribution, including Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Sichuan distribution of the most concentrated area is currently in Ankang, Shaan
