“…The significant difference in various steroidal saponins (shatavarin I-IV) content was reported under semi-arid conditions of India ( Hayes et al., 2008 ; Kumar et al., 2016 ). It was also reported that root yield and chemical constituent affected by shade net intensity ( Saran et al., 2019b ). Sixty genotypes of shatavari divided in to three groups (high, low and medium) based on saponin contents (33.02–53.46 mg g −1 ) ( Kumar et al., 2016 ).…”

“…The peeled dried roots of A. racemosus were ground to a fine powder, kept in air tight container and stored in a deep freezer at -20 °C for further analysis of shatavarin-IV content. The shatavarin-IV content was determined using the protocol as standardized with some minor modifications ( Saran et al., 2019b ). For this approximately 50 mg dried root samples of A. racemosus were taken into screw-capped tubes having 10 ml methanol and heated at 50 °C for 5 min.…”

“…Intermediate and working standards were prepared (4 Methanol: 1 Water v/v) from the stock solution (339.6 μg ml −1 ) and stock solution was prepared in the MS grade methanol stored at - 20 °C ( Saran et al, 2019c ). Linearity of Shatavarin IV at various concentration levels (1, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 ng mL −1 ) on LC-MS/MS exhibited linear response with correlation coefficient (R 2 ) of 0.998 ( Fig.…”

Successful restoration of over exploited species ( Asparagus racemosus ) depends upon variability, conservation and cultivation. Twelve elite accessions were characterized for fifteen quantitative and qualitative traits for sustainable cultivation and industrial uses. The evaluated accessions varied in morphology, herbage, root yield and shatavarin IV content. The accession DAR-7 was showing maximum herbage yield (1860 and 1850 g plant −1 ), fresh root weight (36.33 and 37.33 g plant −1 ), root girth (18.25 and 18.45 cm) and root yield (14.26 and 12.79 kg plant −1 ) in both the harvesting years. Shatavarin IV content in roots was maximum in DAR-14 (152.06 and 151.72 μg g −1 ), followed by DAR-28 (81.16 and 83.16 μg g −1 ). For economic yield accessions DAR-7, DAR-19, DAR-14, DAR-28 were found superior therefore, they may be further used in crop improvement program as valuable selection. In the cropping system they may act as a viable replacement of traditional crops viz. , cumin, gram, cotton and groundnut. Asparagus cultivated under high density plantation ensured high economic return (Rs. 4.87 l ha −1 year −1 ) with 3.66 B: C ratio, therefore, it could be considered a high returns substitute for traditional crops.

“…It also contains dietary fibre and vitamins (A, C, B1, B2, E and folic acid), minerals (Ca, Mg and P) therefore, frequently used for preparation of health tonics. Primarily roots are containing steroidal saponins exhibiting variety of properties and thus find numerous pharmacological applications (Joshi, 2016;Saran et al, 2019). Out of several asparagus' species grown in India, A. racemosus, A. gonaclades and A. adscendens are most commonly used in indigenous medicines (Hayes et al, 2008).…”

The study was carried out to evaluate fifty-six accessions/species suitable for industrial purpose. Understanding the bioactive compound diversity among both the shatavari species, Asparagus racemosus (AR) and A. adscendens (AA) are an important species for crop development. Sufficient variation for bioactive compounds (shatavarin IV) were registered in both the species. AR and AA confined average 22.84 µg g -1 and 117.74 µg g -1 shatavarin IV, respectively. The A. adscendens produced about five folds higher shatavarin IV content as compared to A. racemosus. Wide variation for shatavarin IV content were also observed within the AA accessions. Successful restoration of such species depends upon variability available within the species for crop improvement. Twelve elite accessions were evaluated for quantitive and qualitative traits. The morphological parameters such as cladode, spike, internodal space and root weight plays an important role as a trade and industrial characters. The evaluated accessions varied in herbage, root yield and shatavarin IV content. The accession DAA-28 was having highest fresh weight of rootlet, root length and shatavarin IV content. Simultaneously, root girth and root yield were recorded maximum in accession DAA-41.
