“…As reported in a quite number of studies, the percentage and in some cases are relatively different in sage leaves (Halbesleben and Wheeler, 2008). The differences might be attributed to the harvesting time (pre-blooming, during blooming, post-flowering) (Ostadi et al, 2020), organs (leaf, stem, flower, and aerial parts) (Açikgöz and Kara, 2020), ecological conditions of the growing area (Jordán et al, 2013), post-harvest processes (packaging, transporting, drying techniques storage, harvest techniques etc.) (Szumny et al, 2010;Jaspal et al, 2021).Those, in an extent, can confirm our hypothesis and targets of the current report because plant system and therefore biosynthesis of metabolites are responsive to the numerous variables as uttered above.…”

Secondary metabolites, especially essential oils are of the widely used phyto-chemicals for various purposes. In this regard, numerous studies have been reported on profile of these reputed metabolites in medicinal and aromatic plant (MAPs) species. Of the substantial family of the MAPs, Lamiaceae is of the reputed group with a notable number of plant species. Regarding the species of this group, sage (Salvia officinalis) and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) are of the well-known and widely-studied species. Herewith the current study, we profiled the essential oil composition in leaves of both species. Accordingly, the analysis revealed that camphene (29.40%), 1,8-cineole (37.26%), camphor (13.48%), borneol (3.69%), trans-caryophyllene (5.42%), and α-thujone (5.78%) were of the predominant compounds identified for S. officinalis, whilst camphene (22.45%), 1, 8-cineole (35.36%), linalool (3.67%), camphor (10.80%), cyclohexane,(1-methylethylidene) (3.09%), α-fenchyl alcohol (3.03), 2-cyclohexen-1-one, 2-methyl-5-(1methylethenyl) (2.12%), and endo-bornyl acetate (4.50%) were of the principal components in leaves of R. officinalis.The next studies on the relevant species might be focused on the biological activity of the essential oils.

“…The EO content and composition of MAPs such as the Lamiacee family are influenced by the EO channels, secretory channels, EO gland cells, and glandular trichomes (Fallah et al 2018). On the other hand, the synthesis of these compounds needs elements such as N and P. Therefore, the facilitation of N uptake by biological N-fixing and the role of N and P in EO synthesis pathways were likely to increase the EO composition in basil in the intercropping systems with the application of vermicompost (Duchene et al 2017;Ostadia et al 2020).…”

Only a few studies have hitherto investigated the effects of the application of organic fertilizers in intercropping systems on the plant essential oil (EO) productivity. Hence, this work has aimed to study the effect of different intercropping patterns on EO quality and quantity of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) under vermicompost application. In the present study, the cropping patterns consisted of 1B:1CB, 2B:2CB, 3B:2CB, and 4B:2CB (basil: common bean) as well as the pure culture of both crops and fertilizer treatments including usage or non-usage of vermicompost. The maximum seed yield of common bean (2786 kg ha −1) and dry matter yield of basil in the first (261.5 g m −2) and second harvests (214.7 g m −2) were recorded in the pure cultures fertilized with vermicompost. In addition, the nutrient uptake rate of macronutrients and micronutrients in both plants after application of vermicompost improved in intercropping patterns. In both harvests, the maximum EO content of basil (0.84% in the first harvest and 0.69% in the second harvest) was observed at the cropping ratio of 3B:2CB fertilized with vermicompost. Chemical analysis, achieved by GC-MS, evidenced 1,8-cineole, linalool, methyl chavicol, α-trans-bergamotene, methyl eugenol, and epi-α-cadinol as the main basil EO constituents in both harvests. The highest increment level for most ofEO constituents, nutrient uptake, and land equivalent ratio (1.52) were obtained in the intercropping pattern of 3B:2CB fertilized with vermicompost. In general, the intercropping pattern of 3B:2CB after use of vermicompost can improve the EO productivity and quality of basil. This intercropping pattern was accompanied by the increment of nutrient uptake. Therefore, this treatment can be introduced as a valid and sustainable strategy to replace chemical fertilizer and plant monoculture.

“…The coexistence between AMF and host plants improves the conditions for an optimal plant growth. In medicinal and aromatic plants, previous research indicated that inoculation of AMF in dill ( Anethum graveolens L.), rose geranium ( Pelargonium graveolens L.) and Mentha × piperita improves the nutrient uptakes and essential oil productivity 13 , 14 .…”

Intercropping of medicinal plants/legumes along with bio-fertilizer application is a relatively new sustainable practice for improving the yield and secondary metabolites production. Here, a 2-years field experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of water deficit stress and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) application (as bio-fertilizer) on nutrients concentration, dry matter yield, essential oil quantity and quality of thyme in intercropping with soybean. Three irrigation levels, including (i) irrigation after depletion of 20% (I20) as non-stressed, 50% (I50) as moderate water deficit and 80% (I80) available water as severe water deficit were applied as the main factor. The sub-factor was represented by different cropping patterns including thyme sole culture, replacement intercrop ratio of 50:50 and 66:34 (soybean: thyme) and the third factor was non-usage (control) and usage of AMF. According to our results, the thyme dry yield under moderate and severe water deficit stress decreased by 35 and 44% in the first year, and by 27 and 40% in the second year compared with non-stressed (I20) plants, respectively. Also, the macro- and micro-nutrients of thyme leaves increased significantly in intercropping patterns after application of AMF. The maximum essential oil percentage of thyme was achieved in 50:50 intercropping ratio treated with AMF. Under moderate and severe water deficits, the major constituents of thyme essential oil including thymol, p-cymene and γ-terpinene were increased in intercropping patterns treated with AMF. Generally, AMF application in intercropping ratio of 50:50 may be proposed to farmers as an eco-friendly approach to achieve desirable essential oil quality and quantity in thyme under water deficit stress conditions.
