“…It is a dicotyledonous and diploid plant with 2n = 48 chromosomes (PRAKASH, 1990). Among Ocimum spp., common basil is the most economic species to grow, and it is cultivated all around the world (MAROTTI et al, 1996). Dried leaves of basil are used to flavour many products in the food industry.…”

-The study of genetic relationships is a prerequisite for plant breeding activities as well as for conservation of genetic resources. In the present study, genetic diversity among 50 Iranian basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) accessions was determined using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Thirty-eight alleles were generated at 12 ISSR loci. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 1 to 5 with an average of 3.17. The maximum number of alleles was observed at the A7, 818, 825 and 849 loci, and their size ranged from 300 to 2500 bp. A similarity matrix based on Jaccard's coefficient for all 50 basil accessions gave values from 1.00-0.60. The maximum similarity (1.00) was observed between the "Urmia" and "Shahr-e-Rey II" accessions as well as between the "Urmia" and "Qazvin II" accessions. The lowest similarity (0.60) was observed between the "Tuyserkan I" and "Gom II" accessions. The unweighted pair-group method using arithmetique average UPGMA clustering algorithm classified the studied accessions into three distinct groups. All of the basil accessions, with the exception of "Babol III", "Ahvaz II", "Yazd II" and "Ardebil I", were placed in groups I and II. Leaf colour was a specific characteristic that influenced the clustering of Iranian basil accessions. Because of this relationship, the results of the principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) approximately corresponded to those obtained through cluster analysis. Our results revealed that the geographical distribution of genotypes could not be used as a basis for crossing parents to obtain high heterosis, and therefore, it must be carried out by genetic studies.Key words -Basil.

Neste trabalho a diversidade genética entre 50 acessos de Manejericão Iraniano (Ocimum basilicum L.) foram determinadas usando marcadores de Seqüência Simples Repetida Interna (ISSR). Trinta e oito alelos foram identificados utilizando-se 12 locos ISSR. O número de alelos por lócus variou de 1 a 5 com uma média de 3,17. O máximo número de alelos foi observado em A7; 818; 825 e 849 locos, e seus tamanhos variaram de 300 a 2500 bp. Uma matriz de similaridade baseada no coeficiente de Jaccard para todas as 50 acessos obteve valores de 1,00-0,60. A máxima similaridade (1.00) foi observada nos acessos "Urmia" e "Shahr-e-Rey II" assim como entre os acessos "Urmia" e "Qazvin II". A menor similaridade (0,60) foi observada entre os acessos "Tuyserkan I" e "Gom II". O algoritmo de análise de agrupamentos foi o método da distância média usando a média aritmética (UPGMA) que classificou os acessos estudadas em três distintos grupos. Todos os acessos do manjericão com exceção de "Babol III", "Ahvaz II", "Yazd II" e "Ardebil I", foram localizadas nos grupos I e II. A cor da folha foi uma característica específica que influenciou o agrupamento dos acessos do Manjericão Iraniano. D...

“…Basil oils from different geographical origins have been classified. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] According to the chemical composition and geographical origin, Lawrence in 1980 and Boniface in 1987 classified them into three large groups: European type, Exotic or Reunion type and African type. 14 On the basis of more than 200 analyses of oils extracted from O. basilicum, Lawrence 8 established four essential oil chemotypes (methyl chavicol, linalool, methyl eugenol and methyl cinnamate) and also numerous subtypes.…”

Foi analizada a composição do óleo esencial das partes aéreas de doze variedades de alfavaca (Ocimum spp). A análise foi feita por cromatografía gasosa-espectrometria de massas (CG-EM) e encontrou-se que dez das amostras foram caracterizadas pela presença de uma alta porcentagem de cinamato de metila (35-80%), o qual define o químiotipo destas variedades. Somente uma das variedades apresentou o químiotipo cariofileno e mais uma o químiotipo linalol. As variedades "crespa morada", "virgen pequeña", e "virgen morada" apresentam o subtipo cinamato > linalol. A "blanca compacta" e a "crespa blanca" têm o subtipo cinamato de metila > linalol > 1,8-cineol. A "castilla morada" têm o subtipo cinamato de metila > metil eugenol. O subtipo linalol > cinamato de metila foi apresentado pela "verde de folhas grandes". Cariofileno > metil eugenol foi o subtipo da alfavaca "clavo". Cinamato de metila (constituindo mais do 62% do total do óleo esencial) foi o químiotipo para as outras variedades: "canela", "querendona morada", "dulce de castilla" e "zancona morada".Essential oil compositions of aerial parts from twelve basil cultivars (Ocimum spp) were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Ten of them were characterized by the presence of a high percentage of methyl cinnamate (35-80%), which defined the chemotype for these varieties. Only one presented the caryophyllene chemotype and another, the linalool chemotype. Three of the basils, "purple ruffles", "little virgin" and "purple virgin" exhibited the methyl cinnamate > linalool subtype. "White compact" and "white ruffles" showed the methyl cinnamate > linalool > 1,8-cineole subtype. Methyl cinnamate > methyl eugenol was the subtype for "purple castle". The variety "large green leaves" exhibited the linalool > methyl cinnamate subtype. Caryophyllene > methyl eugenol subtype was determined for "clove basil". The rest of the basils "cinnamon", "purple lovingly", "sweet castle" and "purple long-legged", belonged to the methyl cinnamate chemotype in which methyl cinnamate constituted more than 62% of the total essential oil content.

“…On the other hand, the content of γ-terpinene (4.66%), β-myrcene (0.91%) and linalool (0.97%) were higher than the previous reported one. That's because the differences between the chemical compositions of essential oil are mainly influenced by genotypes, environmental factors and agronomic conditions [29]. Choi, et al [7] examined DPPH scavenging effects of 37 Citrus essential oils.…”
