“…In contrast, the glabridin content was not correlated with the tested variables. These results are similar to those of Esmaeili et al [ 20 ], who suggested that the glabridin content of G. glabra was affected by genetic diversity. Furthermore, the meteorological variables and soil pH exhibited no effect with the bioactive contents ( Table 2 ).…”

“…Only three samples (E-1, F-2, and F-3) met the Japanese Pharmacopoeia specification (glycyrrhizic acid content of ≥ 2%) ( Table 1 ). Large variations in these compounds have also been reported in previous studies, which were mainly attributed to differences in genetics [ 19 , 20 ] as well as environmental and/or soil parameters [ 4 ]. From the statistical results, the plant samples exhibited a weak correlation between the glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritin contents (r = 0.59, p < 0.001).…”

The growth and quality of licorice depend on various environmental factors, including the local climate and soil properties; therefore, its cultivation is often unsuccessful. The current study investigated the key factors that affect the contents of bioactive compounds of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. root and estimated suitable growth zones from collection sites in the Hatay region of Turkey. The contents of three bioactive compounds (glycyrrhizic acid, glabridin, and liquiritin), soil factors (pH, soil bearing capacity, and moisture content), and geographical information (slope, aspect, curvature, elevation, and hillshade) were measured. Meteorological data (temperature and precipitation) were also obtained. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were performed on the data. The soil bearing capacity, moisture content, slope, aspect, curvature, and elevation of the study area showed statistically significant effects on the glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritin contents. A habitat suitability zone map was generated using a GIS-based frequency ratio (FR) model with spatial correlations to the soil, topographical, and meteorological data. The final map categorized the study area into four zones: very high (15.14%), high (31.50%), moderate (40.25%), and low suitability (13.11%). High suitability zones are recommended for further investigation and future cultivation of G. glabra.

“…The M. longifolia is a perennial plant with a long flowering period which gives sufficient time for recombination and likely mutation in the offsprings that finally leading to genetic diversity. Designating the genetic heterogeneity in germplasm is necessary, as it fulfills the possibility for systematic management, breeding, conservation programs, and the exploitation of profitable accession [59] . The genetic diversity established over the years has been kept in the descendants and lets plants to adapt to the local habitat [60] …”

“…The third cluster contained AC1 and AC3. Owing to eliminating the environmental effects, coming from cultivation in an identical place, the observed variation among the accessions has a genetic basis [49,59,68] . The selection for genetic promotion of the species in particular breeding projects became conceivable after analyzing the accessions in a similar site and relinquishing the environmental factors.…”

Mentha longifolia L. is well‐known to be one of the most pervasive wild‐growing species of the Lamiaceae family, which has extensive beneficial properties in the fields of pharmacology and biological products. In the present study, the correlation between Inter‐simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers and morpho‐chemical parameters of twenty different M. longifolia accessions (MLACs) were assessed. The geographic information system (GIS) has been employed to interpret the original habitat of the accessions in Iran. ISSR analysis indicated a remarkable difference in the studied accessions, segregated them into three main groups, constructed by an unweighted pair‐group method with arithmetic (UPGMA) and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA). A total of 89 bands were generated by 12 ISSR primers, among which 82 (91.97 %) of them were polymorphic. The cluster analysis based on agro‐morphological data scattered MLACs into two main groups. The essential oils (EOs) were analyzed through GC/FID/MS, and four chemotypes were characterized according to the major constituents. Pulegone ranged from 0.17 to 69.50 % was the main oil constituent with the highest content. Also, HPLC‐PDA was employed to identify and to quantify the phenolic compounds in the MeOH extracts of MLACs. Heatmap cluster based on phenolic compounds produced three main categories of accessions. The components identified in the extracts were rosmarinic acid, rutin, vanillic acid, ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 3,4‐dihydroxybenzoic acid, 2,5‐dihydroxybenzoic acid, and p‐coumaric acid, which among them rosmarinic acid (RA) varied from 39.16 to 261.55 mg/100 g (DW) as a predominant constituent. Subsequently, multiple regression analyses between ISSR fragments and morpho‐chemical data illustrated considerable relationships in the plant materials. The high variation and correlation observed in metabolic and phenotypic traits of MLACs establish an adequate source to conduct reserves conservation programs.
