Abstract
In the present study, variation in podophyllotoxin content was studied with growth and development in different parts of Podophyllum hexandrum, i.e., leaf lamina, petiole and rootstock using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). It was found that podophyllotoxin content in rootstock and leaf lamina increased with increase in age of the plant while it was recorded vice-versa in petiole of the plant. The rootstock was found to contain the highest content of podophyllotoxin in comparison to other parts.
