ABSTRACT=<p><italic>Paris polyphylla</italic> var. <italic>yunnanensis</italic> is a kind of biomass resource, which has important medicinal and economical values with a huge market. This review article aims to summarize the recent development of biomass <italic>P. polyphylla</italic> var. <italic>yunnanensis</italic>. The genetic diversity and chemical components of biomass <italic>P. polyphylla</italic> var. <italic>yunnanensis</italic> were reviewed based on the literature. Both the genetic diversity and genetic structure of biomass <italic>P. polyphylla</italic> var. <italic>yunnanensis</italic> were compared by using molecular marker technologies. All the extraction processes, harvest time, and drying methods on the chemical components were summarized in detail. The differences of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the infection rate, diosgenin content, microorganisms, enzyme activities, rhizospheric environment, and endogenous hormones were discussed. This review article is beneficial for the applications of biomass <italic>P. polyphylla</italic> var. <italic>yunnanensis</italic> as a biomass resource in the biomedical field.</p>
