Conspecific populations of plants in their native range are expected to show considerable variation due to long-term ecological and evolutionary factors. We investigated the levels of secondary metabolites in Heracleum including H. persicum a valuable medicinal plant to depict the magnitude of cryptic variation and the potential significance of novel chemical traits. The essential oil volatiles from fruits of 34 populations from different species of Heracleum in Iranian distribution range and a native of H. sphondylium and an invasive population of H. persicum from Norway were analyzed with GC/MS. Out of 48 compounds identified, a contrasting pattern in the level of two major compounds, octyl acetate and hexyl butyrate was found among all studied species. Interestingly, a significant geographic pattern was observed; the hexyl butyrate/octyl acetate ratio was high (range 1.8 - 3.2) in the northwestern Iranian populations of H. persicum compared to that in northern and central populations (range 0.3 - 0.9). Four populations from Zagros mountains also exhibited a unique composition. Anethole was found in two populations of H. persicum from central Zagros, which has not been previously reported for essential oil of fruits of Heracleum so far. The results suggest high efficiency of large scale sampling from distribution range of species in identifying novel compounds. The unique pattern of geographic structuring also provides novel information to unravel cryptic variation in Heracleum.

“…This plant, originating from the Mediterranean region, is cultivated under field conditions in a vast number of countries, especially in Southern Europe and Southeast Asia, but also in the United States, China and Chile (Embong et al, 1977). Since anise favors warm climatic conditions throughout the growing season, it is particularly cultivated in subtropical regions (Ullah et al, 2013).…”

Anise (Pimpinella anisum L.) is an annual plant of the Apiaceae family, widely cultivated for the seed and essential oil. Under field condition, anise is cultivated in a vast number of countries including Serbia. Field experiments were carried out during two growing seasons, at three localities, in order to determine the effect of different soil and climatic conditions on the quality of anise seed principal traits (thousand seed weight, germination energy and total germination) as well as on the content and quality of its essential oil. During the experiment it was found that the value of aniseed principal traits was significantly lower in hotter and drier year in comparison to the year with moderate conditions, because of more favourable weather conditions for seed development during this year. A significantly higher concentration of essential oil was also accumulated in the moderate year in comparison to the dry and hot one. This can be attributed to a longer period of fruit formation and synthesis of essential oils and better climatic conditions. It can be concluded that drought caused a significant decrease in thousand seed weight, germination energy and total germination as well as essential oil content in anise. Contrary to this, the content of trans-anethole was significantly higher in the dry year. It can be assumed that under stress conditions the amount of trans-anethole in the essential oil increases, because in such conditions the plants produce more secondary metabolites, substances that prevent oxidation processes in the cells.

Geraniol, 3-bisabolene, trans-pseudoisoeugenol-2-methylbutyrate and transanethole were unambiguously identified in the oils by comparison with published retention data, mass spectra and authentic standards as appropriate, c~-Phellandrene, estragole (Embong et al 1977) and myristicin (Reichling et al 1985) were tentatively identified from mass spectral data only, although their presence in oil of anise has been previously reported.…”

“…Pimpinella anisum (anise) is an Umbelliferous plant the leaf oil of which contains phenylpropanoids including trans-anethole, trans-pseudoisoeugenol-2-methylbutyrate and myristicin (Reichling et al 1985), together with mono-and sesqui-terpenoids such as limonene, myrcene, a-pinene, camphor (Embong et al 1977) and/3-bisabolene (Reichling et al 1985). Callus and suspension cultures of P. anisum do not appear to accumulate the monoterpenoid components of the oil associated with the parent plant (Reichling et al 1985).…”

Axenic transformed shoot cultures of Pimpinella anisum (anise) were established following inoculation of plant stems with the nopaline strain T37 of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The stable incorporation of T-DNA in the transformed tissues was demonstrated by polymerase chain reaction. Total essential oil accumulated by transformed shoot cultures grown under continuous light was found to be 18% lower (per unit fresh weight of tissue) than that produced by untransformed shoot cultures incubated under similar conditions, but more than 89% lower than the yield of oil from the intact plant. The relative amounts of the principal components of the essential oil of the transformed shoot cultures, namely geraniol,/~-bisabolene, trans-pseodoisoeugenol,2-methylbutyrate and transanethole, were similar to those present in the parent plant, but significantly different from those of the untransformed shoot cultures.
