title: [Quality assessment for Coptis chinensis with different cultivating system].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the quality of Coptis chinensis planted with four kinds of cultivating system.
  
  
  METHODS
  The samples, which were planted below the artificial shading, the forest of Chinese ceder wood, Mmulbery wood, Magnolia officinal wood were chosen respectivley, UV and HPLC were used to determine of total alkaloids and berberine of samples.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was no significant difference among four kinds of cultivating system on the contents of total alkaloids and berberine. The contents of total alkaloids and berberine were obviously higher than in the criterion of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The roots of C. chinensis planted in the four kinds of planting system can be used as medicinal material of high quality.
