“…Some Apiaceae species are grown as ornamental flowering plants, such as masterwort ( Astrantia ) [ 16 ], blue lace flower ( Trachymene caerulea ) [ 17 ], and sea holly ( Eryngium maritimum ) [ 18 ]. In addition, the Apiaceae family includes many toxic perennial plants, such as poison hemlock ( Conium maculatum ), which contains the toxin coniine [ 19 , 20 ] , water hemlock ( Cicuta maculata ), which contains the toxin cicutoxin [ 21 ], and fool’s parsley ( Aethusa cynapium ), which contains the toxin coniine [ 22 , 23 ]. The major Apiaceae vegetable species and medicinal species are summarized in Table 1 .…”

Many of the world’s most important vegetables and medicinal crops, including carrot, celery, coriander, fennel, and cumin, belong to the Apiaceae family. In this review, we summarize the complex origins of Apiaceae and the current state of research on the family, including traditional and molecular breeding practices, bioactive compounds, medicinal applications, nanotechnology and omics research. Numerous molecular markers, regulatory factors and functional genes have been discovered, studied and applied to improve vegetables and medicinal crops in Apiaceae. In addition, current trends in Apiaceae application and research are also briefly described, including mining new functional genes and metabolites using omics research, identifing new genetic variant associated with the important agronomic traits by population genetics analysis and GWAS, applying the genetic transformation, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system and nanotechnology in Apiaceae plants. This review provides a reference for basic and applied research on Apiaceae vegetable and medicinal plants.

Larkspur (Delphinium spp.) poisons thousands of cattle on western rangelands each year. Because poisoning does not cause specific lesions, and poisoned animals are rarely found before they die, definitively identifying poisoned animals is difficult. Additionally, toxin concentrations in larkspur plants vary with environment, plant, and location. Rapid, sensitive, and specific diagnostic techniques are needed to identify poisoned animals and to determine when and what plants are likely to poison livestock. In this study, three competitive inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (CI-ELISA) for toxic larkspur alkaloids were developed. One assay is class-specific toward the N-(methylsuccinimido)anthranoyllycoctonine (MSAL) alkaloids, and two assays are specific for individual alkaloids. The assay with the lowest limit of detection had an I(50) of 191 pg with a limit of detection of 30.5 pg for methyllycaconitine. Spike and recovery studies using bovine blood and brain tissue ranged from 52 to 89%. These findings suggest that with additional development these techniques are likely to be excellent tools for diagnosing poisoned animals and identifying highly toxic plants.
