<title>ANNUAL VARIATION IN BACOSIDE CONTENT OF BACOPA MONNIERI (L.) WETTST PLANTS </title>
<abstract>A study was conducted to evaluate bacoside (expressed as sum of bacoside A lessThan sub greaterThan 3 lessThan /sub greaterThan  and A lessThan sub greaterThan 2 lessThan /sub greaterThan ) production on a monthly basis in net house grown plants of  lessThan i greaterThan Bacopa monnieri lessThan /i greaterThan  (accession BM001) collected from Jammu region. Bacoside content differed during the course of the whole year. The whole herb is used commercially for extracting the memory enhancing molecule - bacosides from the plant. The study significantly points out that the maximum bacoside yield was obtained during August to October (monsoon period) which also coincides with the favourable period for plant growth and would be suitable for plant harvest. Amongst the various individual plant parts, the highest content was recorded in the leaves (6.06 mg g lessThan sup greaterThan -1 lessThan /sup greaterThan  DW) followed by stem (5.13 mg g lessThan sup greaterThan -1 lessThan /sup greaterThan  DW) and least in the roots (3.19 mg g lessThan sup greaterThan -1 lessThan /sup greaterThan  DW).</abstract>
