“…Many of these variation patterns are available, with differences also in growth habits (upright, twisting, and creeping), and several of them grow wild in the Mediterranean countries ( De Mastro et al., 2004 ). Currently, the distribution of biotypes, ecotypes, and landraces have been studied only in a few Italian areas ( Mulas et al., 1998 ; Flamini et al., 2002 ; De Mastro et al., 2004 ), and the selection of cultivars and varieties adapted to local environmental conditions from spontaneous populations ( Mulas and Mulas, 2005 ). The variability of the phytochemical profile of rosemary has been described as related to its phenological stage, geographic location, seasonal variation, environmental factors, abiotic stresses, and to genetic characteristics ( Hidalgo et al., 1998 ; Tounekti and Munné-Bosch, 2012 ; Li et al., 2016 ).…”
