Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The genus Bupleurum includes approximately 200 species that are widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, Eurasia and North Africa. Certain species of this genus have long been used as antiphlogistic, antipyretic and analgesic agents in traditional folk medicine. As described in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the roots of Bupleurum chinense DC. and B. scorzonerifolium Willd. are the herbal materials that compose Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri), a well-known TCM herb. AIM OF THE REVIEW This review aims to provide up-to-date and comprehensive information regarding the distribution, toxicity, molecular mechanism and relatively new methods for the qualitative and quantitative determination of polyacetylenes in different Bupleurum species. METHOD The information needed for this paper were sourced from publishing sites such as Elsevier, science Direct, PubMed; electronic search engines such as Scopus and Web of Science, Google scholar; other scientific database sites for chemicals such as ChemSpider, PubChem, SciFinder, and also from on line books. RESULTS Polyacetylenes, which are widely distributed in genus Bupleurum of the Apiaceae family, have high toxicity. Among polyacetylenes, bupleurotoxin, acetylbupleurotoxin and oenanthotoxin have strong neurotoxicity. Through previous research, it was found that the toxicity of Bupleurum polyacetylenes manifested as epileptic seizures, with the target of toxicity being the brain. The neurotoxicity of polyacetylenes exhibits a relationship with the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor pathway, and polyacetylenes have been shown to inhibit GABA-induced currents (IGABA) in a competitive manner. CONCLUSIONS The plants of genus Bupleurum have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. However, certain species of this genus are poisonous, and it was attributed to the high content of polyacetylenes. The present review indicates that certain polyacetylenes in the genus Bupleurum have highly neurotoxic effects. The major challenge with regard to toxic polyacetylenes is to test their neurotoxic effects in vivo as well as in further preclinical studies, which will require large amounts of purified polyacetylenes. More reference substances should be prepared, and sophisticated analytical technologies should be developed to comprehensively assess the quality of Radix Bupleuri herbs. These investigations will be helpful for further utilization of the plants of genus Bupleurum.

Abstract
Bupleurum chinense used in the study were cultivated in the experimental fields of Gansu agricultural University for three years. The seeds of B. chinense were collected every 3 days 10 d after the blossom. The result showed that the 1 000-grain fresh weight reached the maximum 43 d after the blossom and then decreased rapidly, at the mature period the fresh weight of seeds were falling to the same level of the dry weight. The dynamic change of the grain dry matter accumulation showed as an S-shape curve, the rapid increase stage was 25-34 d following the flower, and the grain filling was ended 46 d after blossom. Grain filling rate was under the law "fast-slow-fast-slow". And there were two peaks of grain filling rate appeared, after reached the second peak 28 d after the flower the filling rate decreased rapidly and stayed steadily 43 d after flowering. The dehydration rate was also measured at its maximum 43 d following flower. The indexes of seeds all reached the top 52 days following the blossom, when the germination rate reached the peak (34.33%) and water content of seeds was near 10%. The rate of germination and the 1 000-graid weight of seed showed significant positive correlation, while the water content of seeds was found significant negatively correlation with germination percentage. So the best time for harvest should be 52 d after flowering (9 month), the seeds collected at that time showed both high quality and germination rate.

Abstract
Seeds of Bupleurum chinense cultivar, Zhongchai No. 1, were sowed in plastic pots which used the arable layer soil as the nursery bed and putted in the artificial climate incubator at various temperatures (15, 20, 25, 15-25 degrees C) and light (8,12 h) to germinate, respectively. The lower constant temperature (15 degrees ) and the higher constant temperature (25 "C) were not conducive to the sprouting characteristics of B. chinese. While they were able to enhance root activity to some extent; The seeding growth of B. chinese was significantly better in the variable temperature than correspondence in the constant temperature, significantly. The emergence speed, emergence index, vigor index and root activity of Bupleurum were improved under the 12 h of light-time, but the germination rate was not improved. The sprouting of Bupleurum's seeds could be improved to some extent by soaking with hormone, such as gibberellin, cytokinin, salicylic acid. Gibberellin promoted seeds' sprouting and seedings's root activity of Bupleurum, while salicylic acid increased the root activity of seeding. There is a significant influence of light, temperatures and hormone treatment on the germination of Zhongchai No. 1 seeds, and all three are remarkably interacted; It is beneficial to promote seed germination by the temperature (20 + 5) degrees C, lighting (8 h) and gibberellin concentration (10 x 10(-6)).

Abstract
In order to investigate the comprehensive quality differences of the seeds harvested in different growing time, and offer theoretical guide for the optimization of seeds' production technology, we analyzed the apparent size, 1 000-grain weight, water absorbency, germination indexes, postharvest embryo rate change, relatively contents of coumarins and the yield of single plant of its seeds of different harvesting time, and compared their comprehensive quality by Topsis analysis. The results showed that there existed obvious differences in yield and quality between seeds of 3 harvesting times. While the harvesting time postponed, the yield of single plant raised, and the shrunken seeds rate decreased, the quality of seedlings increased, while the contents of coumarins showed a steady increase, and the germination rate decreased. The comprehensive quality of the seeds harvested in the black ripe time rank the first place, followed by the brown ripe time and the yellow ripe time. As the harvesting time delays, the seeds' comprehensive quality increases, therefore, we could put off the seeds' harvesting time properly for the high efficient seed production.

Abstract
The callus of Bupleurum chinense with anthers at the stage of uninucleate was induced. After several subcultures, anther calli of B. chinense were cultured at 20 MS culture mediums with different plant hormones to differentiate into plantlets. Differentiation of callus was detected after 21 and 49 days to select the most effective medium. There were 19 culture mediums in which anther callus could differentiate into plantlets with differentiation rate range from 3% to 60% , and most less than 20%. MS + KT 0.5 mg x L(-1) + sucrose 30 g c L(-1) + phytagel 5 g x L(-1) was the best differentiation medium with the differentiation rate of 60%, followed by MS + ZT 1.0 mg x L(-1) + sucrose 30 g x L(-1) + phytagel 5 g x L(-1) with the differentiation rate of 58%. Then plantlets were transferred to rooting medium to obtain whole plant. All plantlets could root in the rooting medium of MS + sucrose 30 g x L(-1) + phytagel 5 g x L(-1) and 1/2 MS + NAA 0.5 mg x L(-1) + sucrose 30 g x L(-1) + phytagel of 5 g L(-1) with the rooting rate of 100%. As a result, the high efficient and stable plant regeneration system was established from anther callus of B. chinense.

Abstract
In this study, the induction of hairy roots of Bupleurum chinense DC. was explored and established after experiments at different conditions: A. rhizogenes A4 was used to infect the leaves bases of B. chinense tube seedlings. The explants were co-cultured on Phytagel-solidified media for 3 days and then, were turned into solid media, similar with the co-culture media except that bacteriostat was added. After 10 days, rootlets began to appear and after 4 to 5 weeks, rootlets can be converted into liquid shaking culture stage. Plants regeneration from hairy root was useful for the research of new germplasm production and the variety improvement breeding. In the present study, the regenerated plants were obtained. One approach was to continuously culture under light conditions the seedlings which parting off spontaneously from the hairy roots during liquid shaking culture. The other approach was to culture the callus-like tissues produced by hairy roots with the optimized regeneration media for the induction of regenerated plants. The results of present study provide a technique to induce hairy roots and plantlet regeneration of B. chinense and this technique is helpful for the researches on metabolism, especially on the Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of B. chinense.

Abstract
Field experiments were conducted to investigate the suitable cropping patterns of grain crops and medical plant Bupleurum chinense in the semi-arid region of the Loess Plateau. Three cropping patterns were designed, including corn-Bupleurum chinense intercropping (corn/Bupleurum chinense), wheat followed by soybean-Bupleurum chinense intercropping (wheat-soybean/Bupleurum chinense), and sequential planting of Bupleurum chinense (wheat-Bupleurum chinense). Of the three patterns, wheat-soybean/Bupleurum chinense was the best in economic yields and ecological benefits. Among the cultivars (cv. Lingchuan, Zuoquan and Wanrong) of Bupleurum chinense tested, the cv. Wanrong originated from relatively high temperature region exhibited the highest yield, while the cv. Zuoquan originated from relatively low temperature region had the lowest one, indicating that introducing Bupleurum chinense cultivars from the areas with higher temperature to lower temperature areas could increase their yield. The cropping pattern of wheat-soybean/Bupleurum chinense was the most effective one, with the yield being 11.6% and 16.8% higher than that of corn/Bupleurum chinense and wheat-Bupleurum chinense, respectively.

Abstract
It was studied that the characteristics of Bupleurum chinense DC. in nutrition uptake based on potted and field experiment to provide a properly fertilizer application measure. The result showed that the absorption amounts of N, P and K were in the order of K > N > P under field condition. For one-year-old B. chinesnse DC., the average N, P2O5 and K2O absorption per 100 kg dry matter of root were 11.77 kg, 2.43 kg, 14.07 kg respectively; for two-year-old, the average N, P2O5 and K2O absorption amount per 100 kg dry matter of root were 12.11 kg, 2.74 kg, 18.39 kg respectively. The total absorption amount of N, P2O5 and K2O were lower in the first year, while the percentage of content was higher, that was to say, the demand for N, P and K was urgent in the first year. The accumulation peak of N, P2O5 and K2O occurred regreening to later elongation stage in the second year. The ratio of N, P and K were differential in different growth stages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Mediterranean woody plants have a wide variety of phenological strategies. Some authors have classified the Mediterranean phanaerophytes into two broad phenological categories: phenophase-overlappers (that overlap resource-demanding activities in a short period of the year) and phenophase-sequencers (that protract resource-demanding activities throughout the year). In this work the impact of both phenological strategies on leaf nutrient accumulation and retranslocation dynamics at the level of leaves and branches was evaluated. Phenophase-overlappers were expected to accumulate nutrients in leaves throughout most of the year and withdraw them efficiently in a short period. Phenophase-sequencers were expected to withdraw nutrients progressively throughout the year, without long accumulation periods. METHODS To test this hypothesis, variations in phenology and leaf NPK in the crown of a phenophase-overlapper Cistus laurifolius and a phenophase-sequencer Bupleurum fruticosum were monitored monthly during 2 years. KEY RESULTS Changes in nutrient concentration at the leaf level were not clearly related with the different phenologies. Nitrogen and phosphorous resorption efficiencies were lower in the phenophase-overlapper, and accumulation-retranslocation seasonality was similar in both species. Changes in the branch nutrient pool agreed with the hypothesis that the phenophase-overlapper accumulated nutrients from summer until the bud burst of the following spring, recovering a large nutrient pool during massive leaf shedding. The phenophase-sequencer did not accumulate nutrients from autumn until early spring, achieving lower nutrient recovery during spring leaf shedding. CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that phenological demands influence branch nutrient cycling. This effect is easier to detect by assessing changes in the branch nutrient pool rather than changes in the leaf nutrient concentration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To learn the development characteristics of Bupleurum chinense DC. for the cultivation fundament. METHOD Mature and intact plant samples of different growing periods are studied by the method of plant growth analysis. RESULTS The plant organs are composed of root, root crown, stalk, basal leaves, stem leaves, branches and leaves, apical and lateral inflorescences. Dry substance in the branches of the first and second level was 93.8% of that in all branches. Though the branches of third or fourth level were relatively weak, their amount was large. The root-shoot ratio with the value 0.19 was especially low. Lateral inflorescences of third or fourth level were found commonly in the population, but the first and second ones were the majors part. About 38.1% dry substance was used for the development of propagation organ. The length of main root was only 17.2 cm, its weight was nearly same as that in the lateral roots. CONCLUSION Short cultivated history of B. chinense are still maintained some significant wild characteristics, so they don't accord with the demand of the objective gathering in the root. It may be resolved with artifical regulation and breeding.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To learn the development characteristics of Bupleurum chinese DC. and to provide the cultivation fundament. METHOD Plant samples of different growing periods were collected and investigated. RESULTS It was found that the development stages of B. chinense could be divided definitely into emergence of seedings, seedling, elongation of internode, flowering and fruiting, and dormancy. During its life, cotyledon, basal leaves and stem leaves appeared and died away in turn, and the stem extended to its full length in one month. The root reached its top length during seedling stage, and its diameter increased quickly from July to August. The dry substance accumulated in aerial part of the plant increased quickly, and that in root increased by 42.4%, 94.0%, or 40.1% respectively, from mid July to mid August after stem elongation beginning, from mid September to mid October, or from mid October to the date of harvesting. CONCLUSION Management methods and planting technologies of B. chinense should be mapped out according to the different characteristics of its three key growing stages.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the factors influencing the seed germination of Bupleurum chinense and B. falcatum. METHOD The seeds of different maturity, and the seeds whose coat were removed or nicked before dipping in water, were germinated in a light growth chamber. RESULT The different inflorescence level represents different development period. Seeds harvested from cultivation have different maturity. The germination rate of the seeds in period I to III was nearly zero, and it was significant different from period IV to VII. The seed coat is not an obstacle for water absorption or gas exchange, but its removal led to significant increase of seed germination rate. However, to dip the seeds without coat into water for 48 h had no more effect on germination. CONCLUSION The seed maturity and germination inhibitors in seed coat are two important factor influencing seed germination in B. chinense and B. falcatum.
