Abstract: Four chemical reagents,jasmonic acid(JA),ethrel,Aspirin and tryptophan,were used as exogenous hormones to treat pot plants of Catharanthus roseus grown in green house to determine the contents of medicinal components,alkaloids,in C.roseus leaves.The pot plants at the age of 2 and 5 months were treated with the reagents at different concentrations.Two days after treatment,the contents of catharanthine,vinblastine and vindoline in leaves were determined by using HPLC.All the reagents under trial obviously improved the accumulation of indole alkaloids including catharanthine and vinblastine in the leaves of C.roseus,and the optimum treatment concentrations of these reagents were determined.These reagents apparently promote the accumulation of total indole alkoloids in the leaves of C.roseus.
