“…The genus Ocimum L., comprises 30-160 annual and perennial herbs and shrubs (Paton, Harley, & Harley, 1999) with a lot of these deriving from hybridization events; moreover, several species are commercial cultivars. Among the genus, O. basilicum L. is the most economically important species consisting of a large number of cultivars with different genetic constitution as detected by discontinuous markers such as AFLP -Amplified Fragments Length Polymorphism - (Labra et al, 2004;Carovic-Stanko et al, 2010). Our analyses confirmed these data by using universal DNA barcoding tools; considering that the analysed basil cultivars showed private DNA barcoding profiles, we can conclude the DNA barcoding is a suitable tool for tracking the basil from the field to the consumer's table.…”

“…O. x citriodorum Vis.) (2n ¼ 72) [16]. Based on our current findings regarding essential oil compositions, we can now more precisely search for the most probable ancestor among common basil cultivars, especially within the purple cultivars (2n ¼ 48) that contain considerable estragol levels (Samples 16, 17, and 19 -21; Fig.).…”

Twenty-seven Ocimum basilicum cultivars were subjected to a chemical characterization of essential oil components by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and a genetic characterization using the amplified fragment-length polymorphism (AFLP) technique. Since the same 27 accessions had previously been classified into six morphotypes, these analyses allowed us to make detailed comparisons of chemistry, genetics, and morphology. The chemical composition and morphology of the studied cultivars appeared to have a strong genetic component. The AFLP analysis revealed a distinction between the green and purple morphotypes. The green morphotypes predominantly utilized the terpene biosynthetic pathway, while most purple morphotypes primarily utilized the phenylpropene biosynthetic pathway. The GC/MS analysis led to identification of 87 volatiles. Among the 27 cultivars, five chemotypes were identified. A detailed characterization of the essential oil constituents indicated the existence of both specific combinations of compounds and 'private' compounds with the potential to be used in many aspects of human life. The established relationship between a genetic profile, chemical composition, and morphology represents an important step in future breeding programs and in the cultivation of this species.

“…For the studies of medicinal plants, we highlight the reports of Pluhár et al (2012), with species of Thymus, Wang et al (2011), with cultivations of Camellia, Silva et al (2006), with Casearia sylvestris, Zucchi et al (2005), with natural populations of Eugenia dysenterica, and Gaia et al (2004), with Piper aduncum L. Even when, there are many reports using this marker for different species of Ocimum (Carović-Stanko et al, 2010;Chen et al, 2013;Chikkaswamy et al, 2013;Harisaranraj et al, 2008;Vieira et al, 2001Vieira et al, , 2003, to our knowledge, O. selloi was not studied using it. O. selloi literature reports only one item of Amaral and Casali (2000) using isoenzyme marker for identification and characterization of populations of this species.…”

a b s t r a c tThe present work aimed to characterize the chemical composition of essential oils and genetic diversity of three native populations of Ocimum selloi collected in Brazil southern and southeastern. Thus, with the proposals to subsidize genetic improvement programs for the species preservation and commercial application of the essential oil.A total of 60 samples from Iporanga and Piquete counties (State of São Paulo) and Adrianópolis county (State of Paraná) were analyzed by RAPD -genetic polymorphism -and GC-MS -chemical composition of essential oils. The data showed that the variation of the chemical composition of the essential oils of the samples was influenced by geographical region and genetic factors. The Piquete population was more homogeneous with respect to factors evaluated, and presented germacrene D, elemicin, trans-␣-bergamotene, and bicyclogermacrene as the major components. Populations of Adrianópolis and Iporanga showed strong variability probably due to the gene flow between these populations, because they are geographically close. Most samples of these two regions had as major substances elemicin, ␤-selinene, and ␤-4-copaen-␣-ol. The results showed a great genetic and chemical divergence among and inside the populations between, being the diversity inside the populations bigger than among populations. The oils presented potential for commercial use in the manufacture of veterinary, pharmaceutical, and agricultural products.
