“…These results agree with those mentioned by [33] who analyzed the essential oils of Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf grown in three different locations in South India and found that the main constituents of the oils were βmyrcene, neral, geranial and geraniol.…”

This study was carried out at the Department of Ornamental Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University during the two successive seasons of 2015 and 2016. The experiment was designed using a complete randomized blocks design. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of NPK (recommended dose), biofertilizers (Nitrobien and Phosphorien) at 1,2 and 4 g/plant, compost and poultry manure at the rates of 5, 10 and 15 ton/ feddan (feddan=4200 m 2 ) on essential oil production and biochemical compositions of Cymbopogon citratus plants. The results showed that the average percentage of essential oil ranged between 0.140-0.300% at the first cut and 0.133-0.283% at the second cut of the two seasons, respectively. First cut (in August) resulted in more essential oil production than second cut (in October). Poultry manure produced the maximum essential oil yield/plant compared to control and the other fertilizer treatments. The main

“…In previous studies, the essential oil of C. citratus was shown to exert various pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial [6], insecticidal [7], and cytotoxic activities [8,9]. e main chemical compounds reported in C. citratus essential oil include α-citral, β-citral, nerol, geraniol, citronellal, terpinolene, geranyl acetate, myrcene, and terpinol methylheptenone [10][11][12]. In addition, some flavonoids and phenolics, terpenes, alcohols, and ketones have been identified in the plant [13][14][15].…”

Essential oils were extracted from the culm and leaf of Cymbopogon citratus collected from different regions of Vietnam and analyzed using GC/MS. The results showed that citral is the major component accounting for 61.20%–76.46% of the essential oils. The citral content was higher in the essential oil obtained from the leaf than in that from the culm of lemongrass in all regions. In particular, camphene, valerianol, and epi-α-muurolol can be used to differentiate essential oils originating from leaves versus culms. The cytotoxic effects of the essential oils on various lung cancer cell lines were evaluated in the present study. All essential oils exhibited cytotoxicity in the tested cells. The Ha Loc leaf essential oil (HLL) exhibited the most potent effects on A549 and H1975 cells, with IC50 values of 1.73 ± 0.37 and 4.01 ± 0.30 μg/mL, respectively. The Hy Cuong leaf essential oil (HCL) showed the strongest effect on H1299 cells, with an IC50 value of 2.45 ± 0.21 μg/mL. The Kim Duc culm (KDC) essential oil exerted the strongest cytotoxic effects against H1650 cells, with an IC50 value of 4.86 ± 0.29 μg/mL. The HLL induced apoptosis and cycle arrest in A549 cells according to flow cytometric analysis and fluorescent nuclear staining assays. The western blot analysis indicated that HLL induced the apoptotic effect by altering the regulating proteins of the apoptosis process such as caspase-3, Bcl-2, and Bax. The data strongly suggested that the intrinsic pathway may play an important role in the apoptotic effects of HLL.

“…For C. Citratus EO, the majority compounds identified were β-citral (48%), α-citral (30%) and β-myrcene (11%).Commonly, the C. citratus EO present higher variations in the chemical constituents present in the oil (Amini et al, 2016;Mourão et al, 2017). Vyshali et al (2015) identified enormous variation in the content of geraniol, geranial (α-citral) and β-myrcene depending on the region in which the C. citratus were grown in India. In addition to variations in the constituent concentration within each species caused by environmental factors, there is significant variation in the constitution of the oils when comparing different species of the genus Cymbopogon (Bhuyan et al, 2010).…”

The antifungal activity of plant essential oils (EOs) has been verified for several agricultural plant pathogens. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of EOs from Melaleuca alternifolia, Eucalyptus citriodora, Cymbopogon martinii and C. citratus against Rhizoctonia solani, causal agent of rice sheath blight. Essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation, in a Clevenger type system, and characterized by GC and GC-MS analysis. Bioassays were conducted using EOs and commercial standards of majoritary compounds identified. The EOs from C. martinii and C. citratus and its majority compounds, geraniol and citral, respectively, inhibited the mycelial growth of R. solani in vitro. Bio-fungicides derived from these essential oils can became an alternative for the management of plant diseases.
