Abstract
ABSTRACT Plants produce variety of secondary metabolites in response to stress. The study aimed to evaluate the soil moisture stress on oil content & composition of German chamomile conducted in, 2020 and 2021 at CSIR-Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plant, Research Centre, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India. The treatments were T1 (just before irrigation), T2 (24 h after irrigation), T3 (72 h after irrigation), T4 (120 h after irrigation), and T5 (168 h after irrigation). Results showed that maximum oil content (0.26 & 0.57 ml/100g) was found in fresh and dry flowers, respectively of T2 & oil content decreased as the days to irrigation increased. GC results showed that the percentage of major compounds was lowest (74.02%) while maximum in acute drought conditions i.e. before irrigation (92.12%). Results suggest that soil moisture stress reduces the oil content however, the quality of oil is enhanced due to increased production of secondary metabolites.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Essential Oil Research ( JEOR) is the major forum for the publication of essential oil research and analysis. Each issue includes studies performed on the chemical composition of some of the 20,000 aromatic plants known in the plant kingdom. JEOR is devoted entirely to all phases of research from every corner of the world by the experts in their field. JEOR''s main areas of focus include:
-Analytical chemistry-
Biological activity-
Biotechnology-
Chemical composition-
Chemical synthesis-
Chemosystematics-
Microbiological activity-
Plant biochemistry/biosynthesis-
Toxicology.
Published six times per year, JEOR provides articles on the aromatic principles of a plant or its isolates and are directed toward furthering our readers'' knowledge of the aromatic plant and animal kingdoms.
