Taxol has a unique anticancer mechanism and high anticancer activity,which has high development and utilization value.The physicochemical properties were studied and the results were evaluated by content determination.All parts of shandong taxus plants contain taxol,which can be extracted from the whole plant with high utilization rate.Shandong taxus grown in rongcheng,shandong province is a hybrid Taxus media introduced in the late 20th century.Compared with Taxus cuspidate and Taxus chinensis var mairei,there are some differences in plant morphological microscopic characteristics.This will provide data for the identification and further research of taxus media,which is rich in taxol and can be used to promote planting economic forest.
