Abstract

A systematic chemical examination of Artemisia herba alba L., belonging to the Asteraceae family, was conducted using chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques on essential oil (EO) samples from wild aerial sections collected from six Moroccan localities. Chemical variability (intraspecific chemical variation) was evaluated by analyzing 60 oil samples obtained from 10 individual plants in the respective locales. Twenty-three chemical constituents, accounting for 93.28 % of the oil composition, were identified, primarily comprising oxygenated monoterpenes (camphor, α-thujone, and β-thujone) and hydrocarbon monoterpenes (camphene). Statistical analysis of the oil compositions revealed the existence of four distinct groups, primarily differentiated by their levels of camphor, α-thujone, β-thujone, eucalyptol, and camphene.

摩洛哥西部和南部白蒿精油的化学多样性和化学型分类。

采用色谱和光谱学技术，对摩洛哥6个地区野生气采蒿精油（EO）进行了系统的化学分析。化学变异（种内化学变异）通过分析从不同地区的10株植物中获得的60份油样进行了评估。共鉴定出23种化学成分，占挥发油成分的93.28%，主要为含氧单萜（樟脑、α-图琼和β-图琼）和烃单萜（樟烯）。精油成分的统计分析显示存在4个不同的类群，主要根据樟脑、α-图琼、β-图琼、桉叶精油和樟烯的含量来区分。

期刊介绍： Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology). In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.
