摘要The geo-herbalism of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)is defined by excellent traits and excellent quality,which result from a microevolutionary process involving polygenic quantitative inheritance under environmental stress.Dao-di herbs exemplify the interaction between genotype and environment,wherein phenotypes emerge as a product of genotypic expression modified by environmental factors.Atractylodes lancea,a representative Dao-di herb,is distinguished by its specific geographical origin and distinct phenotype.Ecological suitability analysis indicates that A.lancea thrives in its native region of Maoshan,where it endures environmental stresses such as high temperature,humidity,and nutrient deficiencies.This review summarizes the excellent traits and quality of A.lancea and explores the environmental mechanisms underlying its geo-herbalism.By examining its microevolutionary adaptation to environmental stress,this study extends the theoretical framework of the adverse effects hypothesis in the formation of Dao-di herbs.
