Abstract

The gland cells were successfully collected from the stems of Lysimachia fordiana Oliver, and the homologous pigments of fordianin A, fordianin B, fordianaquinone A and fordianaquinone B were firstly detected in the glands by HPLC. This indicated that the stem was an ideal material for the preparation of the glands, and the gland was a center for the polycyclic pigments accumulation in this species.
