“…These qualitative inconsistencies in the chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from plants, as it was already mentioned, reported in various specialized studies, are due to multiple causes, beginning with the growing / cultivation conditions, as well as with the mode and period of harvesting, and finishing with different operating conditions during the extraction process [19][20][21][22][23]. As it is well known, each type of lavender oil is described by a specific, distinctive profile from the qualitative / quantitative point of view, presenting different chemical compounds, in different quantity and in different number; therefore, depending on their composition, each of these oils have different chemical, physical, and therapeutic properties (e.g.…”

“…Consequently, the therapeutic effects of lavender essential oil depend on its chemical composition, which in turn varies with a number of factors (plant age, harvest time, climate conditions, soil properties, extraction methods, pollution, etc.) [19][20][21]. Therefore, determining the chemical composition of the oil used in therapy or in the preparation of supplements is essential in determining their quality and effects [22][23].…”

In this research, the variations in the chemical composition of the Lavandula angustifolia Mill. essential oil, the Romanian variety Moldoveanca 4, obtained from the same culture, in the same harvesting and extraction conditions, during the years 2016-2018, representing the years 2-4 of culture. Lavandula angustifolia Mill. flowers were supplied from an ecological-crops from N-E Romania and the essential oils were obtained by hydro distillation of freshly harvested flowers. To determine the chemical composition, the essential oil was semi-quantitatively analysed by using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In all the samples, 30 organic compounds were identified, linalool and linalyl acetate being in similar concentrations (23.51-27.39% for linalool and 26.60-40.66% for linalyl acetate). Changes in chemical composition were observed in 2017 and 2018. Also, in 2017 was determined an increase in the quantity of linalyl acetate (from 26.60 to 40.66 %), and a slight decrease in linalool content; in 2018, the concentration in linalyl acetate remained approximately the same as in 2017 (38.03 versus 40.66 %) and there was an increase in linalool compared to the previous years (27.39 %, compared to 23.51 % in 2017 and 26.22 % in 2016). The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from flowers of Lavandula angustifolia L., Moldoveanca 4 variety, showed substantial changes of the chemical profile describing the compounds during the analysed three years, as was determined by GC-MS analyses.

Soil flooding severely impairs agricultural crop production. Plants can cope with flooding conditions by embracing an orchestrated set of morphological adaptations and physiological adjustments that are regulated by the elaborated hormonal signaling network. The most prominent of these hormones is ethylene, which has been firmly established as a critical signal in flooding tolerance. ABA (abscisic acid) is also known as a “stress hormone” that modulates various responses to abiotic stresses; however, its role in flooding tolerance remains much less established. Here, we discuss the progress made in the elucidation of morphological adaptations regulated by ABA and its crosstalk with other phytohormones under flooding conditions in model plants and agriculturally important crops.

“…Global warming and GHGs cause increased adverse weather conditions which are dangerous for agriculture and food security [1]. Scientific evidence underlines that almost all natural, biological, and physical processes are reacting to climate changes in Europe and around the world [2]. The agri-food chain generates many different sources of GHG emissions at all stages from manufacturing and distribution of inputs used at farm level to food processing and preparation, distribution, and waste disposal [3,4].…”

Assessment of Tomato Peels Suitable for Producing Biomethane within the Context of Circular Economy: A GIS-Based Model Analysis

Biomass is seen as one of the most dominant future renewable energy sources. In detail, agro-industrial by-products represent a cheap, renewable, and abundant feedstock useful for several new products, including biochemical, biomaterials, and above all biogas, which are taking on an ever-increasing role in Italy. In this context, the tomato chain was analysed aiming at estimating the amount of processed tomato and the related waste production as a new suitable resource for producing biofuel as a new frontier within the context of a circular economy. Due the importance of the tomato industry, this research aims at filling gaps in the knowledge of the production and yield of the by-products that are useful as biomass for energy use in those territorial areas where the biomethane sector is still developing. This aim could be relevant for planning the sustainable development of the biomethane sector by reducing both soil consumption for dedicated energy crops and GHG emissions coming from the biomass logistic supply. The achieved results show the localization of territorial areas highly characterized by this kind of biomass. Therefore, it would be desirable that the future policies of development in the biomethane sector consider the availability and the distribution of these suitable biomasses within the territory.
