Abstract

Cultivated licorice plants (Glycyrrhiza glabra L., Glycyrrhiza uralensis FISCH) contain smaller amounts of the triterpene saponin Glycyrrhizic Acid (GA) than wild licorice plants. Endangered or overharvested natural habitats (deserts) are already restricted in China and Mongolia. To resolve this problem and select strains with high GA, we propagated high value strains by vigorous underground shoots and developed a sustainable cultivation strategy, called RIPEAD©, for organic licorice production.
