The experiments tvere carried out to different temperature which affected growth, yield, proximate and antitumor activity in the Codonopsis lanceolata. Growth of aerial part and subterranean partwere best at 20℃ and lower 30℃. Components of fat, protein and fiber were best at 30℃. Wild C.fonceoforo had higher contents of fat, protein, fiber and ash as compared with cultur'ed C.lanceolataArginin was predominant amino acid in both wild and cultivated C.laceolata No significant differ-ence in the mineral contents was found between the wild root and the cultivated at 30'c inbiotronroom. No minerals difference in the contents was found between the cultivated temperature.The content of elements of inorganic metal differs according to the part. C. lanceolata were subjectedto preliminary antitumer screening test with Sarcoma 180 ascites and screening on V-79 cell. Thisexperiments were conducted in accordance with the total packed cell volume method and cytotoxicity method.
