Conspecific populations of plants in their native range are expected to show considerable variation due to long-term ecological and evolutionary factors. We investigated the levels of secondary metabolites in Heracleum including H. persicum a valuable medicinal plant to depict the magnitude of cryptic variation and the potential significance of novel chemical traits. The essential oil volatiles from fruits of 34 populations from different species of Heracleum in Iranian distribution range and a native of H. sphondylium and an invasive population of H. persicum from Norway were analyzed with GC/MS. Out of 48 compounds identified, a contrasting pattern in the level of two major compounds, octyl acetate and hexyl butyrate was found among all studied species. Interestingly, a significant geographic pattern was observed; the hexyl butyrate/octyl acetate ratio was high (range 1.8 - 3.2) in the northwestern Iranian populations of H. persicum compared to that in northern and central populations (range 0.3 - 0.9). Four populations from Zagros mountains also exhibited a unique composition. Anethole was found in two populations of H. persicum from central Zagros, which has not been previously reported for essential oil of fruits of Heracleum so far. The results suggest high efficiency of large scale sampling from distribution range of species in identifying novel compounds. The unique pattern of geographic structuring also provides novel information to unravel cryptic variation in Heracleum.

“…Previous studies on natural variation of chemical constituents of essential oil have reported no considerable variation among natural populations of H . persicum . Studies have also found that edaphic and climatic factors are associated with the quantity of some chemical compounds in the essential oil of H .…”

“…Based on these data, the antibacterial and antifungal activity of Heracleum species is likely to be due to the presence of furanocoumarins (Ozçelik, Kusmenoglu, Turkoz, & Abbasoglu, 2004). This is why plants from Heracleum genus are used as food preservatives, spice and flavoring agents, as well as a carminative, digestive, and analgesic (Firuzi, Asadollahi, Gholami, & Javidnia, 2010;Kousha & Bayat, 2012;Radjabian, Salimi, Rahmani, Shockravi, & Mozaffarian, 2013).…”

“…Among the 30 compounds identified in the seed oil of H. persicum, the major constituents were hexyl butyrate (22.5% and 35.5%), octyl acetate (19% and 27%) and hexyl isobutyrate (9.1% and 3.2%) in unripe and ripe seeds, respectively. In the study of Radjabian et al (2013), the essential oils of flat-oval shaped fruits of 17 wild populations of H. persicum collected from different locations in Iran were obtained by hydro-distillation and analyzed by GC-MS. The oil yields varied greatly among populations and ranged from 1.6% to 4.9% based on dried plant material.…”

“…known as Persian Hogweed or "Golpar", is an annual native plant to the Alborz region, the northern part of Iran with a wide distribution across the country. Its fruits are widely used as a spice and flavoring agent in foods and in the preparation of pickles (Amin, 1991) as well as carminative, antiseptic, digestive, analgesic, antioxidant and anticonvulsant herbal drug in Iranian traditional medicine (Souri et al, 2004;Sayyah et al, 2005;Radjabian et al, 2013).…”

The present investigation was aimed to analyse the chemical composition of essential oil isolated from Heracleum persicum Desf. ex Fischer and assess its lethal and sub-lethal effects against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). Essential oil from hydro-distilled seeds of H. persicum was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and hexyl butyrate (50.58%), octyl acetate (9.80%) and hexyl hexanoate (8.75%) were found as principal constituents. Repellent activity, contact and fumigant toxicity and antifeedant effects of this oil were assessed against the adults of T. castaneum. The essential oil strongly repelled T. castaneum adults even at the lowest concentration (0.035 μL cm -2 ). Complete repellency (100%) occurred when the highest concentration (0.212 μL cm -2 ) was applied for 8 h. T. castaneum was very susceptible to H. persicum oil at both contact and fumigant bioassays. In the fumigant toxicity, essential oil killed the larvae, pupae and adults and significantly decreased larvae emerged from treated eggs. LC 10 to LC 40 values of fumigation adult's bioassay as sub-lethal concentrations were used to evaluate the antifeedant effects. H. persicum essential oil has significant antifeedant effects on T. castaneum adults and decrease of feeding happened when oil concentrations increased. The results of the present study indicate that essential oil of H. persicum, with wide bio-effects on T. castaneum, is a source of biologically active agents which may potentially prove to be efficient insecticides.Additional key words: essential oils; Heracleum persicum; toxicity; repellent; antifeedant.* Corresponding author: asgar.ebadollahi@gmail.com Received: 12-07-14.
