Effect of aluminum concentration on growth and secondary metabolites production in three chemotypes of Cunila galioides Benth. medicinal plant

Abstract: Medicine plants play an important role in public health, especially in developing countries, and among them Cunila galioides Benth. is a naturally occurring medicinal and aromatic plant native from south Brazil. Flavonoids, present in significant amounts in some species of Cunila sp., possess several properties and its content may be affected by aluminum stress. In this context, the aim of this work was to assess the influence of different levels of aluminum in nutrient solution on the growth and content of es… Show more

“…Beyond the season and drying state of the plant material, the EO yield and composition can be affected by other factors, such as stage of plant development, light, temperature, soil, altitude, rainfall, liming and harvest time (Blank et al, 2005;Gobbo-Neto and Lopes, 2007;Lakušić et al, 2011;Lima et al, 2003;Mossi et al, 2012). Although the EO yield and chemical composition are influenced by a number of factors, literature shows that these parameters may be independent of factors such as aluminum concentration (Mossi et al, 2011). On the other hand, the production of secondary metabolites and the composition of complex mixtures such as EO can also be influenced by environmental conditions, such as pollution, climate, and diseases .…”

“…This shows that the four varieties are less tolerant of acidic stress. Low pH soils will increase Al solubility [17], low P availability [18], N deficiency, and other nutrients [19] and inhibit plant root symbiosis with Rhizobium [20]; thus Al is the cause of the decline in all agronomic parameters [21].…”

“…The chemical composition of the essential oil of the Bom Jardim da Serra population has not changed with liming. Nevertheless, stress by aluminum (Al 3+ ) [34], has not altered the essential oil composition of the same populations. These facts demonstrate that modifications in the chemical composition of poejo essential oil depend on the kind of stress and the population (chemotype) cultivated, being a result of an interaction between genetic and environmental factors, as observed by Loziene and Venskutonis [8].…”
