| Abstract | ||
| Total phenolics content in leaves, stem and root for 64 pure lines of Withania somnifera were estimated. The phenol content in its root ranged from 0.09 - 0.69 percent with a mean value of 0.43±0.10, while in stem it ranged from 0.36 - 1.02 percent with mean value of 0.62±0.14. In leaves, the phenolic content ranged from 0.75 - 2.42 percent with a mean value of 1.72±0.41. Order of TPC was leaf > stem > root. Outcome of the present study could be useful for selection of germplasms for development of cultivar with high phenolics content | ||
