“…In the Chinese tradition, B. scorzonerifolium Willd contains a high content of volatile oil, which gives it a strong odor and is called “ XiangChaihu ” [ 21 ]. Our results show that the volatile oil content of B. scorzonerifolium Willd and its wild species was the highest among all the samples, which was consistent with the results of Yu and Chen et al [ 21 , 22 ]. In our results, the relative contents of lauraldehyde, α -pinene, β -pinene, and sabinene in BsR and BsR_W were significantly higher than other samples.…”

Volatile oil serves as a traditional antipyretic component of Bupleuri Radix. Bupleurum marginatum var. stenophyllum (Wolff) Shan et Y. Li belongs to the genus Bupleurum and is distinguished for its high level of saikosaponins and volatile oils; nonetheless, prevailing evidence remains inconclusive regarding its viability as an alternative resource of other official species. This study aims to systematically compare the volatile oil components of both dried and fresh roots of B. marginatum var. stenophyllum and the four legally available Bupleurum species across their chemical, molecular, bionics, and anatomical structures. A total of 962 compounds were determined via GC-MS from the dried roots; B. marginatum var. stenophyllum showed the greatest differences from other species in terms of hydrocarbons, esters, and ketones, which was consistent with the results of fresh roots and the e-nose analysis. A large number of DEGs were identified from the key enzyme family of the monoterpene synthesis pathway in B. marginatum var. stenophyllum via transcriptome analysis. The microscopic observation results, using different staining methods, further showed the distinctive high proportion of phloem in B. marginatum var. stenophyllum, the structure which produces volatile oils. Together, these pieces of evidence hold substantial significance in guiding the judicious development and utilization of Bupleurum genus resources.

“…Bupleurum falcatum L., a member of Umbellidae, has gained significant importance because of its use in Chinese medicine (Chen et al, 2022; Lee et al, 2022; Li, Zhao, et al, 2022). Radix Bupleuri exerts effective hepatoprotective and cholagogic effects through its Saikosaponins (SSs) component (Wang et al, 2023).…”

Bupleurum falcatum L. (B. falcatum) has gained the attention due to its medicinal value in its root. B. falcatum was continuously cultivated and intensively chemically fertilized in order to attain a high yield, which reduced the soil quality and caused continuous cropping problems. Thus, there is significant impact on S. baicalensis yield and quality. To solve this problem, soil with 0 or 3 continuous cropping years (0‐year and 3‐year soil) was fertilized with several organic materials, that are Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus mucilaginosus, humic acid fertilizer, biochar, and vermicompost. The experiment examined the effectiveness of B. falcatum's growth and nutrient uptake under various organic materials. It was shown that organic materials improved soil fertility and promoted the growth and nutrient uptake of B. falcatum. The combination of vermicompost and biochar had a better improvement effect. It increased soil nutrients by 23.8%~73.3% (0‐year soil) and 24.6%~71.1% (3‐year soil), respectively. In two types of soil, both microbial number and enzyme activity substantially increased. The B. falcatum shoot and root biomass with vermicompost was increased 74.8%~84.5% (without biochar) and 41.8%~71.1% (with biochar) in two different types of soil. Vermicompost and biochar also significantly promoted the root development of B. falcatum. The root length increased by 13.3%~66.7%, the root width by 38.6%~84.8%, the root volume by 8.4%‐61.3%, and the specific root length varied by ‐171.9%~3.1%; as compared to the control. The nutrient (N, P and K) concentrations in shoots and roots changed ‐3.9%~67.2% and 1.4%~53.5%, respectively. All the findings demonstrated that long‐term continuous cropping caused cropping obstacles, deteriorated soil quality, and enhanced the B. falcatum growth. Applying organic fertilizers, such as vermicompost and biochar, can help to improve soil quality, increase soil nutrients, promote the growth and nutrients absorption of B. falcatum, and eliminate continuous cropping obstacles.
