TLDR
The reserpine content in samples of Dehradun and Bengal varieties of R. serpentina has been found to be 0.117 and 0.103 per cent respectively.Abstract:
A spectrophotometric method for the estimation of reserpine in crude drugs and pharmaceutical preparations has been described. The method is capable of detecting microquantities of reserpine (0.25 μg./ml.). It is capable of estimating reserpine in crude drugs, alkaloidal mixtures, reserpine and serpentina tablets. The reserpine content in samples of Dehradun and Bengal varieties of R. serpentina has been found to be 0.117 and 0.103 per cent respectively.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed that concentrations of glutathione, Cys, and O-acetyl-l-serine (OAS), in shoot tissue, are strongly correlated with the ability to hyperaccumulate Ni in various Thlaspi goesingense, T. rosulare, and nonaccumulator relatives, including T. arvense, and Arabidopsis thaliana.
