“…-The genus Ferula L., belonging to the family Apiaceae and the tribe Scandiceae, consists of ca. 170 species worldwide [1]. Ferula is essentially a genus found in southwestern and central Asia, with outlying species in North India, the Mediterranean region, and North Africa [2 -3].…”

To evaluate the chemotaxonomic significance of the essential oils of 23 populations of 18 Iranian Ferula species, the chemical composition of the oils was investigated by GC/FID and GC/MS. Altogether, 84 constituents, representing 81.3-99.7% of the total composition of the oils, have been identified. The composition of six species of the genus, i.e., F. oopoda, F. foetida, F. behboudiana, F. diversivittata, F. galbaniflua, and F. hezarlalehzarica, has been reported for the first time. The main constituents identified were α-terpinyl acetate (73.3%), 2,3,4-trimethylthiophene (2; 49.0%), sabinene (75.3%), verbenone (5; 69.4%), β-pinene (59.0-66.3%), and (Z)-β-ocimene (41.7%). Cluster analysis (CA) of the percentage content of the essential oil components of the Ferula species resulted in the characterization of four groups, i.e., taxa containing either i) monoterpene hydrocarbons, ii) oxygenated monoterpenes, iii) organosulfur compounds, or iv) monoterpene, sesquiterpene, and aliphatic hydrocarbons as the principal classes of compounds. Based on the results obtained, the chemical independence of F. hirtella from F. szowitsiana and of F. galbaniflua from F. gummosa at the specific level was concluded and their positions as distinct species were confirmed. The chemotaxonomic relationships among the representatives of the genus Ferula have been discussed in detail.

“…While acknowledging Koso-Poljansky's and Calestani's contributions of fruit anatomy to umbellifer taxonomy, he regarded these characters as useless at the infrageneric level. Consequently, his descriptions of subgenera focused primarily on characters of habit, inflorescence, leaves, and flowers, and less so on basic fruit features, such as the direction of compression and the number of vallecular vittae" (Cited by: Kurzyan-Mlynik et al, 2008). Kurzyan-Mlynik et al (2008) believe a general similarity of fruit anatomy is a better predictor of species affinity than any single fruit character as supported by the analysis of character evolution.…”

In present research, comparative anatomical study was carried on eight Ferula species in NE Iran. The specimens were collected during March-June 2010-2012. After identification, the cross sections from the base of stem, mature leaves, petioles and mericarps were prepared, and then stained by differential staining. Internal structure of stems, leaves and petioles varied among the species due to the shape and type of collenchymous tissue below the epidermis layer and sclerenchymous strands above the phloem, the shape of vascular bundle, the position and number of secretory ducts and the type of mesophyll. Also, in the mericarps, the number of dorsal rib, vallecular vittae, commissural vittae and wing width changed among the species.

“…Apiaceae has about 110 genera and 400 species distributed in Iran (Mozaffarian 2007). The genus Leutea Pimenov belongs to the "Ferula group" including Ferula L., Dorema L. and Leutea (Kurzyna-Młynik et al 2008). The genus Ferula includes more than 170 species distributed in central and southwestern Asia, and the Mediterranean region including northern Africa (Pimenov andLeonov 1993, KurzynaMłynik et al 2008).…”

“…Despite the recent publication date of its name, many populations of L. elbursensis have been known for a long time. Material of L. elbursensis was first considered part of L. cupularis (Pimenov 1987), and was later segregated from it by Mozaffarian in 2003(Kurzyna-Młynik et al 2008. Mozafarian (2007) identifield two different species in the north of Iran (Tehran province) i.e.…”

-In this paper, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences, genetic structure and the chemical composition of essential oils of four populations belonging to Leutea elbursensis and Leutea petiolaris, two species endemic to northern Iran, are analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis based on the ITS data showed that all accessions of L. elbursensis formed a monophyletic clade, and L. elbursensis was a sister to the rest of Leutea species. Results of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis performed on the total genome showed that all individuals presented in the study belonged to two different genetic clusters. The individuals belong to L. petiolaris had a different genetic structure and yielded no traceable amount of essential oils. The essential oil obtained from the ripe fruits of L. elbursensis yielded 0.5-0.6% of volatile essential oils. In total, 15-29 volatile natural components were identified on the basis of their mass spectra characteristics and retention indices, in which α-pinene (33.18-43.22%), β-pinene (32.4-40.9%) were the major constituents. Our results indicate that L. elbursensis is a distinct species, segregated from the other species based on morphology, ITS data and AFLP profile. In addition, despite the relatively uniform genetic structure of L. elbursensis, the chemical composition of essential oil could be highly affected by different factors.
