Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pharmacological effect of tetraploid Isatis indigotica Fort. METHODS: Comparing these actions of tetraploid I. indigotica with those of the diploid parent. RESULTS: These actions of tetraploid I. indigotica were obviously stronger than those of the diploid parent. The pharmacological effect of leaves was greater than that of roots with identical ploidy. CONCLUSION: Tetraploid I. indigotica is a new line of better quality, deserving to be exploited and utilized on a large scale.
