A Phytochemical Investigation of Bothriochloa intermedia

Essential Oil Composition ofBothriochloa bladhi

“…In addition, acorenone-B was reported in several Bothriochloa species (8,9) including B. bladhi (5). However, acorenone-B was not found in the oil produced from this region which is in corroboration with the report by Melkani et al (2).…”

“…The essential oil composition was reported from different parts of Himalayan region viz., Jalana (Nainital, India) (2), Nepal (5) and Kumaun and Garhwal regions (India) (6). Reports on the oil composition of other Bothriochloa species have also been published (7)(8)(9). In the present investigation, the authors undertook the study of oil composition of B. bladhi growing as a wild grass in the agroclimate of Palampur (Himachal Pradesh, India) region.…”

Allelopathic potential of Bothriochloa laguroides var. laguroides (DC.) Herter (Poaceae: Andropogoneae)

“…In spite of several reports about volatile components in different species of Bothriochloa (Bhandari et al, 1993;De Wet and Scott, 1965;Kaul and Vats, 1998;Melkani et al, 1984;Pinder and Kerr, 1980;Scrivanti et al, 2009;Zalkow et al, 1980), only one study of their allelopathic potential has been published (Hussain et al, 1982). Nothing is known of the role of allelopathy in the normal development of communities with B. laguroides var.…”

Essential Oil Composition ofBothriochloa bladhii(Retz.) S.T. Blake: An Introduction from Tropical Region of Western Ghats of India

“…The relative percentages of constituents identified in the essential oil were given in table I were the major sesquiterpenoids identified. The majority of the species of Bothriochloa contains intermedeol, neointermedeol, and acorenone-B the main marker constituents; and on the basis of the presence and dominance of these compounds, Bothriochloa species have been divided into three major groups named after these marker constitutes 9,10 . The essential oil compositions of B. bladhii collected from tropical and temperate sites have been studied earlier which showed long chain aliphatic esters, intermedeol and acorenone-B as the major constituents of their essential oils.…”

“…Intermedeol, neointermedeol, and acorenone-B were reported as the major marker constituents in majority of the species of Bothriochloa 6-12 . On the basis of the presence of these compounds, Bothriochloa species have been divided into three major groups named after the presence and dominance of these constitutes as the major constituents of their essential oil composition 9,10 .…”
