Abstract:Objective: Changes of chlorophyll, soluble sugar, soluble protein, during the plant regeneration in Rabdosia rubescens werestudied to explore the correlation between the accumulation of the active components and physiological characteristics of cultural materials of R. rubescens. Method: UV spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography were used to determine the content of chlorophyll, soluble sugar, soluble protein in the cultural materials of different stage. Result: The content of chlorophyll, soluble protein and acetic acid was positively correlated with the oridonin, while the soluble sugar had a negative correlation with the oridonin. Conclusion: The content of chlorophyll, soluble protein in the cultural materials had a mutual promotion relationship with the oridonin, and the levels of soluble sugar were closely related to the growth speed and developmental phase of the cultural materials.
