“…However, the divergence among populations belonging to the same bioclimatic zone and the absence of correlations between the ecological factors and the amounts of some major terpenic compounds in both species were also observed. These results suggest that the terpene's synthesis in the two Artemisia species could be also regulated by other factors such as genetic and edaphic ones . So, further studies considering the combined genetic and chemical diversities, the effect of soil characteristics ( i.e ., micro and macroelements, pH, structure, and texture), and the variation of chemical composition for several successive years are needed to better explain our results.…”

The intraspecific variability of Artemisia herba-alba and A. campestris essential oils and the evaluation of their antioxidant and antiacetylcholinesterase activities were determined. Artemisia herba-alba essential oil was found rich in camphor (19.61%), α-thujone (19.40%), β-thujone (9.44%), chrysanthenone (9.26%), and trans-sabinyl acetate (8.43%). The major compounds of A. campestris essential oil were germacrene D (16.38%), β-pinene (16.33%), and limonene (9.17%). Significant variation in the essential oil composition was observed among populations of each species. The divergence between populations was attributed to the variation of some climatic factors such as altitude, annual rainfall, winter cold stress, summer precipitation, summer drought stress, evapotranspiration, and humidity. Artemisia herba-alba and A. campestris essential oils exhibited promising antioxidant and antiacetylcholinesterase activities. The level of activity varied significantly according to the species and the essential oil. The highest scavenging activity (IC = 0.14 mg/ml) and the uppermost capacity to prevent β-carotene bleaching (IC = 0.10 mg/ml) characterized A. campestris from population 6. A. campestris population 3 possessed the uppermost ability to reduce ferric ions (450.7 μmol Fe /g EO). The population 2 of A. campestris showed the strongest antiacetylcholinesterase activity (IC = 0.02 mg/ml). The variation of these activities between the essential oils was explained by their composition differences.

“…This variation can be due to the geographical origins (Diäaz‐Maroto et al, ), maturity of fennel fruits, extraction methods (Díaz‐Maroto et al, ), fennel varieties and analysis conditions of the essential oil. It can also be attributed to genetic factors and ecological situations including climatic conditions of the growing localities (Baldoni, Viggiani, Bonetti, Dinelli, & Catizone, ; Martínez‐Natarén et al, ; Telci et al, ).…”

Chemical composition, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of essential oils from 16 wild edible Tunisian Foeniculum vulgare populations were evaluated. The essential oil yields of fennel seeds ranged from 1.2 to 5.06%. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 20 compounds. Except one sample, essential oils from different locations were mainly composed of phenylpropanoid and the major compound was estragole with a percentage ranging from 66.09 to 85%. The phenolic content of fennel oils varied significantly among populations which could explain the high variation in antiradical scavenging activity. Furthermore, essential oils presented antimicrobial activity against several strains. Results showed that the Gram-positive strains of bacteria were most sensitive to fennel oils. This study encourages the use of wild fennel as a potential source of natural antioxidants and antimicrobial agents and supports an assessment of this species in several application domains. Practical applicationsThe growing interest in the use of medicinal plants in food and pharmaceutical industries has led to a systematic examination of plant extracts for their biological properties. Wild fennel is one of aromatic and medicinal plant known for its biological and pharmaceutical activities. In this study, chemical composition, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of fennel essential oil were analyzed with a view of their industrial applications. The variations in essential oil composition and their biological activities in different populations may provide baseline data for breeding programs and large scale multiplication for commercial cultivation of the best fennel population.

“…For example, Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff grows in dark soil, rich in mineral content ( Raiesi et al., 2013 ) and growth habitats of Thymus pulegioides were characterized by high amount of Al, Ca, Fe, K, and Si, however, by low amount of P and Mn ( Vaičiulytė et al., 2017 ). Mexican oregano populations grown in soil with high nitrogen and iron content, lower soil water availability, and higher pH values showed a higher EO yield ( Martínez-Natarén et al., 2012 ). It is widely accepted that environmental conditions affect plant EO content and its components ( Ormeño et al., 2008 ; Mansour et al., 2010 ).…”

Variation of Secondary Metabolite Profile of Zataria multiflora Boiss. Populations Linked to Geographic, Climatic, and Edaphic Factors

Geographic location and connected environmental and edaphic factors like temperature, rainfall, soil type, and composition influence the presence and the total content of specific plant compounds as well as the presence of a certain chemotype. This study evaluated whether geographic, edaphic, and climatic information can be utilized to predict the presence of specific compounds from medicinal or aromatic plants. Furthermore, we tested rapid analytical methods based on near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) coupled with gas chromatography/flame ionization (GC/FID) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analytical methods for characterization and classification metabolite profiling of Zataria multiflora Boiss. populations. Z. multiflora is an aromatic, perennial plant with interesting pharmacological and biological properties. It is widely dispersed in Iran as well as in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Here, we studied the effect of environmental factors on essential oil (EO) content and the composition and distribution of chemotypes. Our results indicate that this species grows predominantly in areas rich in calcium, iron, potassium, and aluminum, with mean rainfall of 40.46 to 302.72 mm•year −1 and mean annual temperature of 14.90°C to 28.80°C. EO content ranged from 2.75% to 5.89%. Carvacrol (10.56-73.31%), thymol (3.51-48.12%), linalool (0.90-55.38%), and pcymene (1.66-13.96%) were the major constituents, which classified 14 populations into three chemotypes. Corresponding to the phytochemical cluster analysis, the hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) based on NIR data also recognized the carvacrol, thymol, and linalool chemotypes. Hence, NIR has the potential to be applied as a useful tool to determine rapidly the chemotypes of Z. multiflora and similar herbs. EO and EO constituent content correlated with different geographic location, climate, and edaphic factors. The structural equation models (SEMs) approach revealed direct effects of soil factors (texture, phosphor, pH) and mostly indirect effects of latitude and altitude directly
