Major continuous cropping problems exist in P. notoginseng growing fields which lowers its quality than wild types. It is known that climate change significantly influences the plant chemical components. Therefore, analysis of relationship between climatic factors and the chemical components of P. notoginseng would be beneficial to find the climatic conditions required to increase the contents of desired chemical components. This can help in searching the new ginseng producing areas, to avoid continuous cropping problem and improve the quality of cultivated P. notoginseng. Precipitation and climate changes are the key climatic factors that affects the chemical components of P. notoginseng. Different chemical components have distinct or even opposite responses to climate factors. What’s more, the effects of climate on different chemical components in P. notoginseng could be categorized. In this study, partial least-squares regression was introduced for the first time to analyze the effects of ecological environment on the chemical components. We analyzed the synthetic mechanism of chemical constituents of P. notoginseng.
