摘要

The robust Ginkgo bilobaGinkgo biloba plant, a member of the Ginkgopsida family and a native to China, is referred to as a "living fossil" by the botanical community. Ginkgo has become widely cultivated around the world because of its high decorative and therapeutic benefits. Its high level of environmental adaptation, robust resistance to air pollution, and essentially total resistance to diseases and pests made it popular. It is a single member of the ginkgo family is the long-lived dioecious gymnosperm known as ginkgo. Because of its strong vitality, early origin, and great adaptability, ginkgo is highly prized for scientific studies on the development and genesis of this species. Ginkgo has significant economic importanceEconomic importance added to being a significant ornamental and timber tree. Significant antioxidantAntioxidant, insecticidal, antibacterial, and other biological properties are present in ginkgo fruit. The ginkgo leaves are listed in the Chinese PharmacopoeiaChinese pharmacopoeia as it is rich in flavonoids and terpenoidsFlavonoids and terpenoids.
