Abstract
Apiaceae plants have been widely used as traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) for the treatment of removing dampness, relieving superficies, and dispelling cold, etc. In order to exploit the potential application and improve the yield and quality of Apiaceae medicinal plants (AMPs), The traditional use, phytochemistry, modern pharmacological use, effect of bolting and flowering (BF), and approaches for controlling the BF were summarized. Currently, about 228 AMPs have been recorded as TCMs with 6 medicinal parts, 72 traditional uses, 62 modern pharmacological uses, and 5 main kinds of metabolites. Three effect degrees (i.e., significantly affected, affected to some extent, and no significantly affected) could be classed based on the yield and quality. The BF of individual plants (e.g., Angelica sinensis) could be effectively controlled by the standard cultivation techniques, while the mechanism of BF has not been systemically revealed. This review will provide useful references for the reasonable exploration and high-quality production of AMPs.

1. Introduction

Apiaceae (syn. Umbelliferae) is one of the largest angiosperm families including 300 genera (3000 species) in the world and 100 genera (614 species) in China [1]. Apiaceae plants have been widely used as medical healthcare, nutrition, food industry, and other fields [2]. Currently, 55 genera (230 species) of Apiaceae plants have been applied in medical healthcare, and over 20 species have been widely used as traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) [3]. Extensive studies have demonstrated that Apiaceae medicinal plants (AMPs) present a variety of pharmacological properties for the treatment of central nervous system, cardiovascular, and respiratory system diseases, amongst others [1,4]. These pharmacological activities are largely associated with bioactive metabolites such as polysaccharides, alkaloids, phenylpropanoids (simple phenylpropanoids and coumarins), flavonoids, and polyene alkynes [1,5,6].
In China, Apiaceae plants have been primarily used as traditional medicines for main treatment of removing dampness, relaxing tendons, activating blood, relieving superficies, and dispelling cold, etc. [1,2]. For example, rhizomatous and whole plants are mainly used for the treatment of common cold due to wind-cold, cough, asthma, rheumatic arthralgia, as well as ulcerative carbuncle and pyogenes infections; fruits are mainly used for the treatment of expelling pathogenic wind and regulating vital energy, harmonizing the stomach and promoting digestion, as well as relaxing abdominal pain and expelling parasite [1,2].
As known, the occurrence of bolting and flowering (BF) plays a critical role in transiting from vegetative growth to reproductive development in plant life cycle [7]. However, the BF significantly reduces the accumulation of metabolites in vegetative organs, which ultimately leads to the lignification of rhizomes and/or roots such as sugar beet [8], lettuce [9], and Chinese cabbage [10]. Particularly, it is more common that the BF significantly reduces the yield and quality for the rhizomatous AMPs [11]. Extensive studies have demonstrated that the BF is regulated by both internal factors (e.g., germplasm resource, seedling size, and plant age) and external factors (e.g., vernalization, photoperiodism, and environmental stresses) [12]. To date, the BF, especially in the rhizomatous AMPs, has not been effectively controlled [11,13].
In order to comprehensively learn about the current status of AMPs, herein, the progress on traditional use, phytochemistry, bolting and flowering, and controlling approaches were summarized. These reviews will provide references for efficient cultivation and quality improvement of AMPs.

2. Materials and Methods

All information involved in AMPs was searched on scientific databases (i.e., PubMed, Web of science, Springer, and CNKI) using the keywords including: Apiaceae plant, traditional use, phytochemistry, bolting and flowering, and lignification. Additional information was collected from ethnobotanical literatures focusing on herb from Flora of China and local herbal classic literature, such as Divine Husbandman’s Classic of the Materia Medica (Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing), Compendium of Materia Medica, Illustrated Book on Plants, Collection of National Chinese Herbal Medicine, and Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China. The names of all the plants were corresponded to the Catalogue of Life China. Chemical structures were drawn using ChemDraw 2021 software.

3. A tour of Apiaceae Medicinal Plants (AMPs)

Apiaceae plants have been traditionally used as medicines in China for ca. 2400 years (Figure 1). In 390-278 BC, 3 Apiaceae plants including Angelica dahurica, Ligusticum chuanxiong, and Cnidium monnieri were firstly recorded as medicines in Sorrow after Departure [1,2]. With the progress of Chinese civilization, ca. 100 Apiaceae plants were historically recorded as medicines. Specifically, 12 AMPs such as Angelica decursiva, Bupleurum chinense, and Centella asiatica were recorded in the known herbal text of China, the Divine Husbandman’s Classic of the Materia Medica (Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing) in 1st-2nd century AD [14]; In 1578 and 1848, 24 and 31 AMPs were respectively recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica and Illustrated Book on Plants [15]. In the 21st century, the number of AMPs has been increasing up to 93 species recorded in Flora of China in 2002 [16], and 96 species in Collection of National Chinese Herbal Medicine in 2014 [17]. In recent years, 22 species are recorded in Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China [18]; specifially, 18 species are used with rhizomes and/or roots (Table 1).

4. Classification of AMPs Species

To our best knowledge, a total of 228 AMPs used as TCMs are collected from previously published literatures and books (Table 1). Based on the traditionally used medicinal parts, the 228 AMPs are categorized into 6 classes including: 51 species (21 genera) used with the whole plants (i.e., rhizome and/or root, stem, and leaf), 184 species (44 genera) used with rhizomes and/or roots, 5 species (5 genera) used with stems, 9 species (8 genera) used with leaves, 17 species (14 genera) used with fruits, and single species (single genus) used with seeds.
Specifically, the 51 species (21 genera) used with whole plants include: Anethum, Anthriscus, Apium, Bupleurum, Centella, Conium, Coriandrum, Cryptotaenia, Eryngium, Ferula, Foeniculum, Hydrocotyle, Oenanthe, Peucedanum, Pimpinella, Pleurospermum, Pternopetalum, Sanicula, Sium, Spuriopimpinella, and Torilis genera. Specially, Sanicula (e.g., S. astrantiifolia, S. caerulescens, S. chinensis), Hydrocotyle (e.g., H. himalaica, H. hookeri, and H. nepalensis), and Pimpinella (e.g., P. candolleana, P. coriacea, and P. diversifolia) genera plants are usually used with whole plants.
The 184 species (44 genera) used with rhizomes and/or roots, which are mainly used in AMPs, include: Angelica, Anthriscus, Apium, Archangelica, Bupleurum, Carum, Changium, Chuanminshen, Cicuta, Cnidium, Conioselinum, Daucus, Eriocycla, Ferula, Foeniculum, Glehnia, Heracleum, Hymenidium, Kitagawia, Levisticum, Libanotis, Ligusticopsis, Ligusticum, Meeboldia, Nothosmyrnium, Oenanthe, Osmorhiza, Ostericum, Peucedanum, Phlojodicarpus, Physospermopsis, Pimpinella, Pleurospermum, Pternopetalum, Sanicula, Saposhnikovia, Selinum, Semenovia, Seseli, Seselopsis, Spuriopimpinella, Tongoloa, Torilis, and Vicatia genera. Specially, Angelica (e.g., A. biserrata, A. dahurica, and A. sinensis), Bupleurum (e.g., B. bicaule, B. chinense, and B. scorzonerifolium), and Ligusticum (L. chuanxiong, L. jeholense, and L. sinense) genera plants are usually used with whole plants.
The 5 species (5 genera) used with stems include: Aegopodium (A. alpestre), Coriandrum (C. sativum), Foeniculum (F. vulgare), Ligusticum (L. chuanxiong), and Oenanthe (O. javanica); the 9 species (8 genera) used with leaves include: Aegopodium (A. alpestre), Anethum (A. graveolens), Angelica (A. morii), Anthriscus (A. nemorosa and A. sylvestris), Carum (C. carvi), Daucus (D. carota), Foeniculum (F. vulgare), and Ligusticum (L. chuanxiong); the 17 species (14 genera) used with fruits include: Ammi (A. majus), Carum (C. buriaticum and C. carvi), Cnidium (C. monnieri), Coriandrum (C. sativum), Cuminum (C. cyminum), Cyclorhiza (C. peucedanifolia), Daucus (D. carota L. and D. carota var. Carota), Pimpinella (P. anisum), Trachyspermum (T. ammi), and Visnaga (V. daucoides) genera; as well as the single genera used with seeds is Ferula (F. bungeana) (Table 1).

5. Traditional Uses

As shown in Table 1, distinct traditional uses of the 228 AMPs were recorded. Based on their clinical agents, a total of 79 traditional uses are enriched, with 40 species (e.g., Angelica apaensis, Conium maculatum, and Hydrocotyle hookeri) contributing to the treatment of relieving pain, 36 species (e.g., Aegopodium alpestre, Apium graveolens, and Carum carvi) to the treatment of dispelling wind; and 21 species (e.g., Conioselinum vaginatum, Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides var. batrachium, and Ligusticum sinense) to the treatment of eliminating dampness (Figure 2).
What’s more, AMPs were also widely used as ethnodrug in ethnic minority of China. For example, Carum carvi was used as Tibetan medicine for the treatment of dispelling wind and eliminating dampness, treating cat fever and joint pain [86], Trachyspermum ammi [235] was used as Uygur medicine for the treatment of eliminating cold damp, dispelling coldness, and promoting digestion; Angelica acutiloba was used as Korean nationalities medicine for the treatment of strengthening spleen, enriching blood, stopping bleeding, and promoting coronary circulation [236]; Angelica sinensis was used as Tujia minority medicine for the treatment of enriching the blood, treating dysmenorrheal, and relaxing bowel [237]; and Chuanminshen violaceum was used as geo-authentic medicine of Sichuan province for the treatment of moistening lung melt phlegm, as well as nourishing spleen and stomach [89].
Meanwhile, AMPs combined with other herbs have also been applied in many prescriptions for thousands of years [238]. For example, Decoction of Notopterygium for Rheumatism, a famous Chinese prescription, composed of Notopterygium incisum, Angelica biserrata, Ligusticum sinense, Eryngium foetidum, and Ligusticum chuanxiong, etc., has been widely used for the treatment of exopathogenic wind-cold, rheumatism, headache, and pantalgia [94]. Xinyisan composed of Yulania liliiflora, Actaea cimicifuga, Angelica dahurica, Eryngium foetidum, and Ligusticum sinense, etc., has been widely used for the treatment of deficiency of pulmonary qi and nasal obstruction due to wind-cold pathogens and damp-heat in lung channel [94,167]. Shiquan Dabu Wan of Angelica sinensis, recorded in Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China, has been mainly used for treatment of pallor, fatigability, and palpitations [239]; and Juanbi Tang of Notopterygium incisum and Angelica biserrata, recorded in Medical Words (Qing dynasty), has been mainly used for treatment of arthralgia due to wind cold-dampness [120].

6. Modern Pharmacological Uses

Modern pharmacological researches of the 228 AMPs were recorded (Table 1). Based on their pharmacological effects, a total of 62 modern uses are enriched (Figure 3), with 36 species (e.g., Angelica biserrata, Bupleurum. marginatum, and Foeniculum vulgare) showing anti-inflammatory activity, 20 species (e.g., Chuanminshen violaceum, Cryptotaenia japonica, and Ferula songarica) showing antioxidant activity, and 16 species (e.g., Anethum graveolens, Centella asiatica, and Changium smyrnioides) showing antitumor activity.
Specifically, the sesquiterpene-coumarin, such as (3’S, 5’S, 8’R, 9’S, 10’R)-kellerin, gummosin, galbanic acid, and methyl galbanate in Ferula sinkiangensis resin, showed the anti-neuroinflammatory effect and might be a potential natural therapeutic agent for Alzheimer’s disease [240]. The ferulin B and C in Ferula ferulaeoides rhizomes could restrain the multiplication of HepG2 stomach cancer cell lines, and 2,3-dihydro-7-hydroxyl-2R*, 3R*-dimethyl-2-[4,8-dimethyl-3(E),7-nonadienyl]-furo[3,2-c] coumarin could restrain the proliferation of HepG2, MCF-7, and C6 cancer cell lines [107,241]. The osthole in Angelica biserrata could restrain the multiplication of human gastric cancer cell lines MKN-45 and BGC-823, human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549, human mammary carcinoma cell line MCF-7, and human colon carcinoma cell line LOVO [242]. The phthalides (i.e., sedanolide and 3-n-butylphthalide) in Apium graveolens showed the anticarcinogenic and neuroprotective properties [243,244].

7. Phytochemistry

As shown in Table 1, hundreds of bioactive metabolites have been identified from the 228 AMPs [1,245]. Based on their chemical structures, these metabolites can be categorized into 5 main classes including: (1) polysaccharides, (2) alkaloids, (3) phenylpropanoids, (4) flavonoids, and (5) terpenoids (Figure 4).
Among the 22 AMPs recorded in the Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China [18], 18 bioactive metabolites in the 17 AMPs (e.g., Angelica biserrata, Bupleurum chinense DC., and Centella asiatica) (Figure 5) were described as quality control indicators, which include: 10 phenylpropanoids (i.e., osthole, columbianadin, imperatorin, isoimperatorin, nodakenin, ferulic acid, ttrans-anethole, notopterol, praeruptorin A, and praeruptorin B), 4 terpenoids (i.e., saikosaponin a, saikosaponin d, asiaticoside, and madecassoside), 2 chromones (i.e., prim-O-glucosylcimifugin and 5-O-methylvisammioside), and 2 phthalides (i.e., ligustilide and levistilide A,); and there is no specific quality marker mentioned for the other 5 AMPs (e.g., Changium smyrnioides, Daucus carota L., and Glehnia littoralis) (Table 2).

7.1. Polysaccharides

Polysaccharides are the largest component of biomass and account for ca. 90% of the carbohydrates in plants [246]. Studies have demonstrated that polysaccharides in medicinal plants are the indispensable bioactive compounds presenting uniquely pharmacological effects such as immunomodulatory, hypoglycemic, antitumor, anti-diabetic, and antioxidant, amongst others, with almost no side effect or adverse drug reaction [247,248]. To date, polysaccharides in the 228 AMPs have also been identified to show multiple pharmacological effects. For example, polysaccharides in Angelica sinensis present the effect of hematopoietic, antitumor, and liver protection, etc., [238,249]; polysaccharides in Angelica dahurica protect the effect of spleen lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and procoagulant, etc., [250,251]; as well as polysaccharides in Bupleurum chinense and Bupleurum smithii present the effect of macrophage modulation, kidney protection, and inflammatory alleviation, etc., [252,253,254].

7.2. Alkaloids

About 27 000 alkaloids presenting as water-soluble salts of organic acids, esters, and combined with tannins or sugars have been found in plants [255]. Many alkaloids are valuable medicinal agents that can be utilized to treat various diseases including malaria, diabetes, cancer, cardiac dysfunction, and blood clotting related diseases, etc., [256,257,258]. While alkaloids in the 228 AMPs mainly exist in the Ligusticum, Apium, Conium, and Cuminum genera [245]. Pharmacological studies demonstrated that alkaloids in Ligusticum chuanxiong show the activity of inhibiting myocardial fibrosis, protecting ischemic myocardium, and relieving cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury [150,259,260]; and a novel alkaloid 2-pentylpiperidine named as conmaculatin in Conium maculatum shows strong peripheral and central antinociceptive activity [261]. While some alkaloids have been verified to show antidepressant activity, such as berberine in Berberis aristata, strictosidine acid in Psychotria myriantha, and Anonaine in Annona cherimolia, which could be explored as an emerging therapeutic alternative for the treatment of depression of AMPs.

7.3. Phenylpropanoids

Phenylpropanoids are a large class of secondary metabolites biosynthesized from the amino acids, phenylalanine, and tyrosine [262]. Over 8000 aromatic metabolites of the phenylpropanoids that have been identified in plants include simple phenylpropanoids (propenyl benzene, phenylpropionic acid, and phenylpropyl alcohol), coumarins, lignins, lignans, and flavonoids [263].

7.3.1. Simple Phenylpropanoids

To date, limited simple phenylpropanoids have been identified from the AMPs, such as 3 phenylpropanoids (e.g., trans-isoelemicin, sarisan, and trans-isomyristicin) existed in roots of Ligusticum mutellina [264]; and ferulic acid, one of the phenylpropionic acids, as an important bioactive metabolite of AMPs had many activities, mainly existed in the Angelica, Ligusticum, Ferula, and Pleurospermum genera [238,265,266]. Pharmacological studies demonstrated that ferulic acid in Angelica sinensis shows strong properties in inhibiting platelet aggregation, increasing coronary blood flow, and stimulating smooth muscle [267,268]; ferulic acid in Angelica acutiloba shows antidiabetic effects, immunostimulant properties, antiinfammatory, antimicrobial, anti-arrhythmic, and antithrombotic activity [269]; and ferulic acid in Ligusticum tenuissimum shows anti-melanogenic and anti-oxidative effects [270].

7.3.2. Coumarins

Coumarins are the most widespread in 20 genera of AMPs (e.g., Angelica, Bupleurum, and Peucedanum) and mainly include simple coumarins, pyranocoumarins, and furocoumarins [56,271,272]. In recent years, distinct coumarins have been identified from the AMPs, such as 99 coumarins in Ferula [273], 116 coumarins in Angelica decursiva and Peucedanum praeruptorum [179], as well as 9 coumarins in Angelica dahurica [274]. Furthermore, 8 coumarins have been selected as quality markers including cnidiadin (1) in Angelica biserrata and Cnidium monnieri, zosimin (2) in Angelica biserrata, imperatorin (3) in Angelica dahurica and Angelica dahurica cv. Hangbaizhi, isoimperatorin (4) in Angelica dahurica, Angelica dahurica cv. Hangbaizhi, Notopterygium franchetii, and Notopterygium incisum, nodakenin (5) in Angelica decursiva, Notopterygium franchetii, and Notopterygium incisum, notopterol (14) in Notopterygium franchetii and Notopterygium incisum, as well as praeruptorin A (15) and praeruptorin B (16) in Peucedanum praeruptorum (Table 2 and Figure 5) [18].
To date, various biological activities of coumarins have been demonstrated including antifungal, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-cancerous, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-filarial, enzyme inhibitors, antiaflatoxigenic, analgesics, antioxidant, and oestrogenic [275,276,277,278]. For example, coumarins are recognized as the main bioactive constituents in Peucedani genus and play critical roles in relieving cough and asthma, strengthening heart function, as well as preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases such as nodakenin, (+)-praeruptorin B, and praeruptorin C [279]; imperatorin oxypeucedanin hydrate, xanthotoxol, bergaptol, 5-methoxy-8-hydroxypsoralen, isoimperatorin, phelloptorin, and pabularinone in Angelica dahurica exhibited moderate DPPH•scavenging activity, strong ABTS·+ scavenging activity, and significant inhibition on HepG2 cells, which could be explored as new and potential natural antioxidants and cancer prevention agents [30]; pabulenol and osthol extract in Angelica genuflexa show anti-platelet and anti-coagulant components [38]; decursinol angelate in Angelica gigas shows platelet aggregation and blood coagulation activity [38].

7.4. Flavonoids

Flavonoids are a group of the most abundant secondary metabolites in plants [262]. Generally, flavonoids can be further categorized into 8 subgroups including: flavones (e.g., apigenin, luteolin, and baicalein), flavonols (e.g., kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin), flavanones (e.g., naringenin, hesperitin, and liquiritigenin), flavanonols (e.g., dihydrokaempferol, dihydromyricetin, and dihydroquercetin), isoflavones (e.g., daidzein, purerarin, and peterocarpin), aurones, anthocyanidins, and proanthocyanidins [280,281,282]. In recent years, flavonoids have been identified from the AMPs, such as 6 flavonoids (e.g., luteolin, isoquercitrin, and rutin) in Ferula [107], 12 flavonoids (e.g., quercetin-3-O-rutinoside, kaempferol-3,7-di-O-rhamnoside, quercetin-3-O-arabinoside) in Bupleurum [283], and 18 flavonoids (e.g., rutin, quercetin, and quercitrin) in Hydrocotyle [134].
To date, various biological activities of flavonoids have been demonstrated including antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antidiabetic, anticancer, antiobesity, and cardioprotective [280,284]. For example, apigenin in Apium graveolens shows anticancer property [21], and flavonoids in Pimpinella diversifolia DC., Anthriscus sylvestris, and Sanicula astrantiifolia show antioxidant effect [196,285]; as well as quercetin and its metabolites show vasodilator effects with selectivity toward the resistance vessels [286].

7.5. Terpenoids

About 25 000 terpenoids have been reported in plants and they are most diverse secondary metabolites containing three subgroups including: monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenes, and triterpenoids [287]. Actually, terpenoids have been also identified from the AMPs, such as 4 terpenoids (e.g., angelicoidenol, pregnenolone, and β-sitosterol) in Pleurospermum [141], 75 terpenoids (e.g., myrcene, farnesene, and xiongterpene) in Ligusticum [140], 109 terpenoids (e.g., nerolidol, guaiol, and ferulactone A) in Ferula [273], and 13 triterpenoids (e.g., ranuncoside, oleanane, and barrigenol) in Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam. [135].
Studies have found that terpenoids possess various biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, and anti-fibrosis activities, antitumor, anti-Alzheimer’s disease, and anti-depression [288,289]. For example, xiongterpene in Ligusticum chuanxiong shows insecticide effect [150], asiaticoside in Centella asiatica shows antitumor property [290], as well as saikosaponin d in Bupleurum chinense DC. and Bupleurum scorzonerifolium show the effect of reducing blood glucose, inhibiting inflammation, and reducing insulin resistance [291].

7.6. Other Compounds

Chromones and phthalides also exist in the AMPs and show pharmacological properties. Specifically, phthalides (e.g., ligustilide, n-butylidenephthalide, and Z-ligustilide) in the Angelica sinensis show the effect of inhibiting vasodilation, decreasing platelet aggregation, as well as exerting analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proliferative [238]; butylphthalide in Ligusticum sinense shows the effect of anti-inflammatory, antithrombus, dilate blood vessels, improve brain microcirculation, and anti-myocardial ischemia [154].
For the chromones, 3 chromones [i.e., 5 thydroxy 2 [(angebyloxy) mehyI] fuan [3, 2’: 6, 7] chrmone, angeliticin A, and noreugenin)] in Angelica polymorpha [292], 10 chromones (e.g., cnidimoside A, cnidimol B, and peucenin) in Cnidiummonnieri (L.) Cuss. [93], and 22 chromones [e.g., edebouriellol, hamaudol, and 3ʹ(R)-(+)-hamaudol] in Saposhnikovia divaricate [217] have been identified. Studies have found that 2 chromones 3ʹS-(-)-O-acetylhamaudol and (±)-hamaudol in Angelica morii show the effect of inhibiting Ca2+ influx of vascular smooth muscle [293], prim-O-glucosylcimifugin and 5-O-methylvisammioside show the effect of antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory [294], and chromones in Bupleurum multinerve shows the analgesic effect [295].

8. Effect of Bolting and Flowering (BF) on Yield and Quality

Previous literatures have repeatedly emphasized that the BF reduces the yield and quality of plants, especially in rhizomatous medicinal plants [11]. Here, a total of 38 rhizomatous plants reported in the 228 AMPs are associated with the BF (Table 3). Based on the effect degree of the BF on the yield and quality, the 38 rhizomatous AMPs belonging to 17 genera can be categorized into 3 classes including: (1) the BF significantly affects the yield and quality of 14 AMPs (i.e., Angelica acutiloba, Angelica biserrata, Angelica dahurica, Angelica dahurica cv. Hangbaizhi, Angelica decursiva, Angelica polymorpha, Angelica sinensis, Daucus carota, Heracleum hemsleyanum, Heracleum rapula, Libanotis iliensis, Libanotis seseloides, Peucedanum praeruptorum, and Saposhnikovia divaricata), and their rhizomes and/or roots are wholly lignified and absolutely useless for clinical effects; (2) the BF affects the yield of 11 AMPs (i.e., Angelica gigas, Bupleurum chinense, Bupleurum scorzonerifolium, Changium smyrnioides, Chuanminshen violaceum, Glehnia littoralis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Ligusticum jeholense, Ligusticum sinense, Notopterygium franchetii, and Notopterygium incisum), while their rhizomes or roots can be used as medicine to some extent; as well as (3) the BF has no significant effect on the yield and quality of 13 AMPs (i.e., Angelica sylvestris, Cicuta virosa, Ferula ferulaeoides, Ferula fukanensis, Ferula lehmannii, Ferula olivacea, Ferula sinkiangensis, Ferula teterrima, Levisticum officinale, Libanotis buchtormensis, Libanotis lancifolia, Libanotis spodotrichoma, and Pimpinella candolleana), and their rhizomes or roots are still used as medicine (Figure 6).
For the class (1), bolting and flowering reduce the yield and contents of bioactive compounds of plants with none or almost no medicinal value, representatively, a 8.3- and 16.1-fold reduction of dry weight and quality marker ferulic acid content in Angelica sinensis [296]; and a 1.5- and 1.5-fold reduction of dry weight and quality marker isoimperatorin content in Angelica dahurica [297] have been observed after the BF. For the class (2), bolting and flowering reduce the yield and contents of bioactive compounds of plants with little medicinal value, representatively, a 1.34-fold reduction of saikosaponinsands, while no significant change of dry weight in Bupleurum chinense [298,299]; and a 2.0- and 1.7-fold reduction of dry weigh and polysaccharides content in Changium smyrnioides [300] have been observed after the BF. For the class (3), the yield and quality of the 13 AMPs are not affected after bolting and flowering by the harvest stages [19].

9. Approaches to Control the BF

Generally, Most Apiaceae plants are “low-temperature and long-day” perennial herbs, in other words, the plants must experience vernalization (i.e., an extended period of cool weather at 0 to 10℃) and long days (> 12 h daylight) to induce the BF, such as Angelica sinensis [320], Daucus carota [321], and Coriandrum sativum [322].
As shown in Table 4, approaches to inhibit the BF of 24 AMPs have been listed. For example, the bolting rate of Angelica sinensis can be significantly decreased through planting the green stem cultivar (Mingui 2) instead of the purple stem cultivar (Mingui 1) [323], selecting smaller seedlings (i.e., root-shoulder diameter <0.55 cm) instead of larger seedlings [324,325], storing the seedlings at freezing temperature (i.e., <0℃ ) during overwinter stage [320], shading the plants under sunshade (i.e., >40%) during growth stage [326], and providing the plants with good growth conditions (e.g., plant intensity, nutrient and water balance) [327]. The bolting rate of Angelica dahurica can be significantly decreased through planting the purebreeds [328], selecting the immature seeds for seeding [303], increasing the potassic fertilizer while decreasing the nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers [329], and planting with standard techniques [330]. The bolting rate of Saposhnikovia divaricata can also be significantly decreased through controlling the sunshade [331], sowing date [332], planting density [333], and preventing the excessive growth [331].
To inhibit the occurrence of BF of AMPs, plenty of measures that can be used include: breeding new cultivars to reduce the BF, controlling the seedling age and size to delay the transition from vegetative growth to flowering, storing seedlings at freezing temperatures to avoid vernalization, growing the plants under sunshade to avoid long-day photoperiodism, and planting with standard techniques to reduce pests and diseases (Figure 7).

10. The Mechanism of BF Inducing the Rhizome Lignification

Extensive experiments have demonstrated that the BF induces the lignification of fleshy rhizomes, meanwhile, enhances the degradation of bioactive metabolites [11,13,323]. Studies on anatomical structures reveal that the ratio of secondary phloem to secondary xylem respectively changes from 2:1 to 1:10 and 2/5-1/2 to 1/2-3/4 for the rhizomes of Angelica sinensis and Angelica dahurica before and after BF, meanwhile, the number of secretory cells producing essential oils significantly decreased [363,364]. Studies have been found that EARLY BOLTING IN SHORT DAY (EBS) acts as a negative transcriptional regulator preventing premature flowering of Arabidopsis thaliana and have been observed as co-enrichment of a subset of EBS-associated genes with H3K4me3, H3K27me3, and Polycomb repressor complex 2 [365]; a potential genetic resource for radish late-bolting breeding with introgression of the RsVRN1In-536 insertion allele into early-bolting genotype could contribute to delay bolting time of Raphanus sativus [366]; and peroxidases (PRXs) involved in lignin monomers biosynthesis were downregulated in Peucedanum praeruptorum at the bolting stage [367].
As known, lignin biosynthesis belongs to the general phenylpropanoid pathway, which starts from phenylalanine and is catalyzed by a serial of enzymes [13,368]. Specifically, phenylalanine is catalyzed to form p-Coumaroyl CoA sequentially through the 3 enzymes phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H), and 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL); lignin biosynthesis is synthesized via 3 sub-pathways including: (1) lignins are catalyzed to from p-Coumaroyl CoA sequentially through the three enzymes cinnamoyl-CoA reductases (CCR), cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenases (CAD), and laccases (LACs); and then coniferyl aldehyde is catalyzed to from p-Coumaroyl CoA sequentially through the 4 enzymes hydroxycinnamoyl shikimate/quinate transferase (HCT), p-coumarate 3-hydroxylase (C3H), caffeoyl-CoA 3-O-methyltransferase (CCOMT), and CCR; (2) lignins are catalyzed to from coniferyl aldehyde sequentially through the 2 enzymes CAD and LACs; as well as (3) lignins are catalyzed to from coniferyl aldehyde sequentially through the 3 enzymes ferulate 5-hydroxylase (F5H), caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase (COMT), and LACs (Figure 8).
Although lignin biosynthesis has been depicted, studies on the mechanism of BF inducing rhizome lignification are still limited. To our knowledge, only the mechanism of BF affecting Angelica sinensis has been conducted, with the expression level of genes (e.g., PAL1, 4CLs, HCT, CAD1, and LACs) significantly upregulated at the stem-node forming and elongating stage compared with stem-node pre-differentiation stage, leading to the reduction of accumulation of bioactive metabolites (i.e., ferulic acid and flavonoids) [13].

11. Conclusions and Future Aspect

In this review, we summarized the tour of AMPs, classification of AMPs species, traditional use, modern pharmacological use, phytochemistry, effect of BF on yield and quality, approach to control the BF, and the mechanism of BF inducing the rhizome lignification. Although ca. 228 AMPs, 72 traditional uses, 62 modern uses, and 5 main kinds of metabolites have been recorded, the potential properties still need to be exploited. Although the urgent problems in the BF significantly reducing the yield and quality of AMPs have been found and several approaches have been applied in controlling the BF, the effective measures to inhibit the BF and its mechanism have not been systemically revealed. Thus, in order to effectively control the BF of AMPs, on one hand, standard cultivation techniques of AMPs should be applied; on the other hand, new cultivars should be innovated by the modern biotechnology such as the CRISPR/Cas9 system.
