Changes in essential oil content and composition of Tansy (Tanacetum vulgareL.) under foliar application of salicylic and orthophosphoric acids

Abstract

a Department of horticultural sciences, faculty of agriculture, shiraz university, shiraz, iran; b Department of natural resources, fars research center for agriculture and natural resources, shiraz, iran ABSTRACT The essential oil (EO) content and composition of Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.) were studied under foliar application of salicylic acid (SA) and orthophosphoric acid (P). Gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were employed to determine the chemical composition of EOs from the plant. Different concentrations of SA (0, 150, 300, and 450 ppm) and P (0, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2%) were applied to the plant at different stages of growth including vegetative, floral budding, and full flowering. Based on the results, SA, P and SA × P significantly (p ≤ 0.05) affected the EO content and chemical composition of the plant. The EO contents (w/w %) ranged from 0.65% to 1%. The total of 29-37 components were identified in the EO samples. The major EO compounds under different SA, P, and SA × P treatments were camphene (0.6-6.2%), sabinene (0.4-6.1%), camphor (4.2-30.4%), trans-thujone (2.4-54%), trans-chrysanthenyl acetate (0.8-52.1%) and germacrene D (2.9-5.7%).

Chemical Composition of Essential Oil from Flower Heads of Arnica Chamissonis Less. under a Nitrogen Impact

“…However, it was distinctly lower than that in Helichrysum spp. [77] and Tanacetum vulgare L. [70]. The component diversity of the A. chamissonis EOs, namely the dominance of alpha-pinene, cumene, decanal, p-cymene, germacrene D, and caryophyllene oxide was similar to that demonstrated by Ristić et al [39], Kowalski et al [6], and Sugier et al [17].…”

“…The content, yield, and composition of EOs can be significantly modified by macro-and microelements [16,17,[68][69][70]. In the present study, the N effect on the yield of A. chamissonis flower heads, oil concentration, and oil yield was evident in the case of the two soil types; however, these parameters were higher in plants grown on the L soil.…”

“…The available literature reports diverse responses of medicinal and aromatic plants to N application: (i) a positive impact of N fertilization on the raw material yield and the chemical composition of EO but a negative impact on the EO concentration [4,10,19]; (ii) a positive impact on the chemical composition of EO, raw material yield, and essential oil yield but no influence on the EO concentration [25]; and (iii) a positive influence on the raw material yield, EO content, and essential oil yield [5,15,23,35], which was also confirmed in the present study of A. chamissonis. The various factors used in experiments often affected the EO yield but did not affect the EO concentration and chemical composition [69][70][71][72][73][74]. Nitrogen fertilization can also be a promising approach with a positive influence on the oil concentration, oil yield (ca.…”

Physicochemical and Antibacterial Properties of Alginate Films Containing Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.) Essential Oil

“…However, it is known that essential oils contain a vast amount of various compounds. Analyzing the spectrum of pure tansy essential oil, the most intense band of C=O bond vibration was detected at 1739 cm −1 , which indicated the presence of compounds with carbonyl groups such as thujones, camphor, trans-chrysanthenyl acetate, or bornyl acetate [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Moreover, the bands in the ether region 1000-1300 cm −1 were also observed, indicating the occurrence of substances with ether linkages, such as 1,8-cineole [24,27,[30][31][32].…”

“…Among various essential oils, tansy ( Tanacetum vulgare ) essential oil (TO) is extracted from flower baskets or leaves of tansy, and its main components are 1,8-cineole, β -thujone, α-thujone, cis -chrysanthenol, borneol, myrtenol, camphor, trans -chrysanthenyl acetate, artemisia ketone, (E)-dihydroxycarvone, trans -chrysanthenol, bornyl acetate, camphene, sabinene, and carvone [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Tansy is a perennial plant belonging to the Asteraceae family.…”
