Effects of growth years on the quality of cultivated <i>Bupleurum scorzonerifolium</i> roots, with wild <i>Bupleurum scorzonerifolium</i> roots as a reference.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

With the rapid decline in wild Bupleurum scorzonerifolium (BSW) resources, large-scale planting of cultivated B. scorzonerifolium (BSC) has begun. However, the effects of growth years on the quality of BSC, as well as the quality difference between BSC and BSW remain unclear.

Methods

This study utilized trait characteristics, microstructure, cell wall components, sugar components, main pharmacological substances, metabolomics, and transcriptomics as key indicators and techniques, to comprehensively characterize and investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the quality differences between BSC of different growth ages (1-3 years) and between BSC and BSW.

Results and discussion

As the growth years increased, the root weight of BSC continuously increase
