“…The N and Mg were two important macronutrients for the production of chlorophyll in citrus plants [ 47 ]; N-deficient leaves displayed smaller chloroplasts [ 64 ]. A chloroplast is a form of plastid organelle, which becomes the biosynthesis site of monoterpene [ 21 ], the largest constituent of KLL essential oil [ 65 ]. It was assumed that the sufficient level of N and Mg was a supporting factor for increasing oil yield.…”

“…Growing locations, including geographic, soil and climate, along with cultural practices, especially water and nutrient management, were proved to highly affect the yield and quality of essential oil produced [19][20][21][22][23][24]. Macro-environmental factors such as the condition of the soil and monthly and annual climate modify the production of plant essential oil [25][26][27].…”

Previous studies revealed the impact growing location has on the quantity and quality of essential oils derived from numerous Citrus spp., except on the kaffir lime. This study aims to analyze the relationship shared by agroclimatic variables and soil-plant nutrient status to kaffir lime leaves essential oil yield and main composition. The experiment was conducted between February and April 2019 in four growing locations, namely Bogor (6°36′36″ S, 106°46′47″ E), West Bandung (6°48′12″ S, 107°39′16″ E), Pasuruan (7°45′5″ S, 112°40′6″ E) and Tulungagung (8°6′27″ S, 112°0′35″ E). The highest essential oil yield was obtained from Bogor (1.5%), while the lowest one was from Tulungagung (0.78%). The yield was positively and significantly correlated with the rainfall, soil organic carbon, soil pH, and macronutrient levels, i.e., nitrogen, phosphorus, and magnesium. Citronellal, the major component in metabolites’ profile of kaffir lime leaves essential oils, was significantly affected by the growing location. The absolute content of citronellal was positively and significantly correlated with the actual soil pH and leaf Ca content; furthermore, it negatively correlated with the leaf content of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu. Pearson correlation analysis also showed (i) a negative significant correlation between the relative percentage of citronellol and annual rainfall intensity; (ii) a negative significant correlation between altitude and relative percentage of caryophyllene, and (iii) a positive significant correlation between the relative percentage of linalool and leaf K content.

“…The quality of the raw material of medicinal plants is determined by the content of bioactive compounds, mainly resulting from the influence of the environment in which plants are grown. Biotic, abiotic and genetic factors influence the chemical composition of medicinal oils (BOARO et al, 2019). For example, for V. curassavica, changes in the content of bioactive compounds were observed due to changes in the light availability (SILVA et al 2017), also depending on the time of year (MARQUES, et al (2019) and the access used for collection (OLIVEIRA et al (2020b).…”

This study o evaluated growth, leaf gas exchange and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi root colonization in three medicinal plant species under different irradiance intensities. Fridericia chica (Bonpl.) L.G.Lohmann, Mikania laevigata Sch.Bip. ex Baker and Varronia curassavica Jacq. were propagated by cutting and cultivated for 120 days in artificially shaded environments using black shade-type screens, obtaining four irradiance levels: 100%, 70%, 50% and 30%. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 3 x 4 factorial scheme (three plant species and four irradiation levels) with seven replicates. The three medicinal species showed higher liquid assimilation, mass growth and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi root colonization rates when exposed to environments with 70% light availability. In relation to physiological responses, V. curassavica presented higher photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration when submitted to 70% irradiance, being able to be cultivated in more open environments with higher irradiation levels. Conversely F. chica and M. laevigata presented shade tolerance characteristics. At the initial growth phase, the results obtained can be used as indicators to recommend the ideal cultivation environment for these species in agroforestry systems.

“…These can be determined by genetic characters, or by biotic and abiotic factors (Aslam et al, 2017;Souza et al, 2017). The stimuli resulting from the environment where the plant is located can redirect the metabolic route, leading to biosynthesis of different compounds, however genetic variations are very important factors for these variations in the composition of essential oils (Boaro et al, 2019…”

“…Essential oils are a complex mixture of volatile and lipophilic substances produced by secondary metabolism of individual plants. They have associated the adaptations to the environment, like the attraction of pollinators and seed dispersers, interactions with microorganisms and other plants, protection against predators, and abiotic stresses (Boaro et al, 2019). The literature presents several works that report on the biological activity of essential oils as herbicides, pesticides and biocidal agents (Giunti et al, 2021;Gruľová et al, 2020;Hazrati et al, 2017;Navarro-Rocha et al, 2020;Rajkumar et al, 2020;Taban et al, 2020).…”

Natural products with biological activity, such as essential oils, can be used in the search for and development of ecological herbicides as an alternative to reduce the damage caused by synthetic herbicides. This work to aimed to determine the chemical composition and phytotoxic properties of the essential oils, at concentrations of 3000, 1500, 750, 375 and 187.5 µg/mL, of four cultivars of Psidium guajava (guava) evaluated on germination and root growth of plant models Lactuca sativa and Sorghum bicolor, as well as in the L. sativa cell cycle. Exposure to essential oils reduced germination and root growth in bioassays, especially at the highest concentration (3000 µg/mL). The essential oils interfered in the normal dynamics of the cell cycle of L. sativa at most concentrations, causing a decrease in the mitotic index and increasing of chromosomal alterations, evidencing aneugenic and clastogenic action. The biological activity of the oils was associated with the presence of sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes found here, such as caryophyllene oxide, (E) -caryophyllene, and limonene. Thus, the essential oils of cultivars of guava demonstrated the promising potential for use as natural herbicides.
