Survey of the impacts of soil and climatic variations on the production of essential oils in Heracleum persicum

Abstract

Abstract. Krisnawati A, Adie MM. 2017. The leaflet shape variation from several soybean genotypes in Indonesia. . Leaves are part of the plant organs which are of importance to sustain the plant's life. Generally, each plant has a varied leaflet shape depending on many factors. Soybean, as one of an important source of protein vegetable, has a diverse plant shape among its genotypes. The objective of the research was to evaluate the variation of leaflet shape of 150 soybean (Glycine max L.) genotypes and its relation to another growth and morphological characters. The leaflet shape of 150 soybean genotypes was intensively in Kendalpayak Research Station, Malang (Indonesia) from February to May 2016. This field experiment was conducted in randomized block design with two replicates. The leaf characterization of 150 soybean genotypes using LSI (Leaf Shape Index) method. Analysis of variance of observed soybean genotypes in terms of maturity traits and morphological attributes showed a significantly different among soybean genotypes, except for harvest index (HI) parameter. This indicates that there was variability in morphological characters among of 150 soybean genotypes. The LSI value ranged from 1.40 to 3.05, in average of 2.04. Of all observed soybean genotypes, most of their morphological performance was an intermediate size (110 genotypes), while another 17 genotypes was a broad leaflet, and the rest (23 genotypes) had a narrow leaflet. Genotypes with an intermediate leaflet apparently possessed the different morphological characters of seed in terms of size, weight/plant and yield compared to those leaflet shape of other genotypes. Among the broad leaflet group, accession No. 92 could be prospectively used as a gene donor for improving soybean yield potential in Indonesia due to its high yield production (3.05 t/ha), early maturity, and large seed size. In the group of intermediate leaflet, accession No. 18 could also be used as a potential gene donor showed in its high yield production (3.07 t/ha), early maturity, and large seed size. Meanwhile, the potential gene donor in narrow leaflet group, which could be further used were two genotypes (accession No. 20 and No. 22).

The comparative perspective of phytochemistry and biological properties of the Apiaceae family plants

“…1-octyl acetate, n-octanol, and octyl-2-methylbutyrate were the main components of H. persicum essential oil, which made up 63.44, 8.38, and 6.03% of the essential oil of the fruit of this plant, respectively (Table 3 ). In general, the main compounds and the range of essential oils amounts current study are in line with previous evaluating of F. gummosa 38 , P. crispum 39 , 40 , A. graveolens 41 , 42 , C. Cyminum 18 , B. persicum 43 , H. persicum 44 , P. anisum 45 , K. odoratissima 4 and F. vulgare 24 composition.…”

Effect of Soil Type on Grapefruit and Shaddock Essential Oils

“…The soil content of the macro and micro-elements has an effect on the EO content of aromatic plants (Khalid 2015). These elements also play an important role in the energy metabolism of cells (Hopkins 2003), so these elements positively affected the EO composition (Hasani et al 2017). Electrical conductivity (EC) affected the EO constituents in aromatic plants; i.e., it can change the EO chemical profile (Hasani et al 2017).…”

Electrical conductivity (EC) affected the EO constituents in aromatic plants; i.e., it can change the EO chemical profile (Hasani et al 2017). Also, stress factors in soil (saline soil, saline irrigation water, drought, and minerals) significantly modify the EO composition of various aromatic plants to cope and adapt (Baghalian et al 2008;Razmjoo et al 2008;Khalid and Shedeed, 2014;Bhatla 2018).…”

Relationship among Agroclimatic Variables, Soil and Leaves Nutrient Status with the Yield and Main Composition of Kaffir Lime (Citrus hystrix DC) Leaves Essential Oil

“…Growing locations, including geographic, soil and climate, along with cultural practices, especially water and nutrient management, were proved to highly affect the yield and quality of essential oil produced [19][20][21][22][23][24]. Macro-environmental factors such as the condition of the soil and monthly and annual climate modify the production of plant essential oil [25][26][27]. It is important to understand that climatic conditions during the growing period can affect the yield and composition of essential oils [28,29].…”
