“…Natural populations of black pine from Corsica are clearly differentiated from the populations from the regions of Herault and the East Pyrenees by their higher amounts of β-phellandrene and lower amounts of caryophyllene and β-pinene (Bojovic 1995;Gerber et al 1995;Rafii et al 1996). Terpenes are also used to verify or specify the geographical origin of unknown stands of Pinus pinaster (Baradat and Marpeau-Bézard 1988) or various provenances of Cedrus sp.…”

The geographical variation of terpenes of Pinus nigra populations from southwestern Europe was studied. Terpenes from the foliage of 16 populations from Corsica, Herault (France) and the East Pyrenees (France and Spain) were analyzed. A total of 42 terpenes were detected, with α-pinene the dominant monoterpene and germacrene-d and caryophyllene the dominant sesquiterpenes. The differences in quantitative content of selected compounds clearly divide populations into two basic geographical groups: on one side the populations from Herault and the East Pyrenees and on the other the populations from Corsica. β-Phellandrene and δ-cadinene have the greatest influence on this global discrimination. Some trees and populations show a similarity although they belong to different geographic locations. The similarity of some trees S. Bojovic ( ) · P. Pavlovic · M. Mitrovic · L. Djurdjevic from Herault and the East Pyrenees and trees from Corsica points to their common origin (Corsica). Our results confirm the hypothesis that the afforestation of Herault and the East Pyrenees was also performed with black pine from Corsica.

“…5,6 However, the chemical composition of samples belonging to group II characterized by the presence of manoyl oxide (diterpene) as the major component has never been reported previously in essential oils or extracts of P. nigra. This work illustrates the importance of taking into account every component in the essential oil, including identification and quantification of diterpenes.…”

“…Statistical analysis of these results indicated the uniqueness of the Corsican populations, and suggested that laricio is the ancestral form of the P. nigra found today in mainland south-western Europe. 6 Two other studies reported the terpene composition of the pentane extracts of young shoots of P. nigra from different provenances. 7,8 In both cases,˛-pinene was reported as the major component (40-93%), followed byˇ-pinene (up to 22.7%, Turkey), 7 myrcene (up to 31.5%, Spain) 8 and limonene (up to 29.3%, Corsica).…”

“…Recently, the morphological criteria, along with the terpene composition of pentane extracts of needles from adult trees, allowed for further distinctions between Corsican populations. 5,6 From these studies, the monoterpene and sesquiterpene composition of pentane extracts of P. nigra needles from different Mediterranean countries were reported. The monoterpene fraction is dominated by a very high percentage of˛-pinene (48-89%), followed byˇ-pinene and myrcene (up to 27.2% and 17.2%, respectively, Pyrenees) and linalyl acetate (up to 17.1%, Corsica).…”

“…19 Although pentane extracts of needles of P. nigra ssp. laricio from Corsica have been investigated, 5,6 it appears from the literature that no study has dealt with their essential oil composition. Continuing our research on aromatic plants growing wild in Corsica, the aim of this work was to characterize the chemical composition of Corsican pine oil and to identify any chemical variability that occurred in insular populations.…”

The composition of 123 samples of needle essential oil of individual trees of Pinus nigra subsp. laricio from Corsica was investigated by GC and 13 C-NMR.˛-Pinene, manoyl oxide, germacrene-D, myrcene, (E )-caryophyllene and limonene were found to be the main constituents. The results were submitted to principal components analysis and K-means partitioning which allowed two groups of essential oils to be identified with respect to their content of˛-pinene, manoyl oxide and germacrene-D.

The essential-oil composition of Pinus peuce Griseb. is reported at the population level. Macedonian pine is endemic high-mountain Balkan pine relict of an anthropogenically reduced area, with large morphological diversity and insufficiently clear taxonomic position. In the pine-needle terpene profile of two populations from Montenegro and one from Serbia, 78 compounds were detected, 56 of which are identified (Table 3). The dominant constituents were alpha-pinene (36.5%) and germacrene D (11.4%). The following 20 additional components were found to be present in medium-to-high amounts (0.5-10%): camphene (8.5%), bornyl acetate (6.8%), beta-pinene (6.8%), beta-caryophyllene (5.2%), beta-phellandrene (4.7%), terpinen-4-ol acetate (1.6%), (E)-hex-2-enal (1.5%), alpha-muurolene (1.2%), beta-gurjunene (1.1%), beta-myrcene (1.0%), alpha-terpinyl acetate (0.9%), alpha-phellandrene (0.8%), delta-cadinene (0.8%), alpha-humulene (0.8%), sabinene (0.7%), aromadendrene (0.6%), alpha-thujene (0.6%), gamma-muurolene (0.6%), gamma-cadinene (0.6%), alpha-terpinolene (0.5%), and one unknown component (0.5%). The similarity of the populations and the within-population variability were visualized by principle-component analysis (PCA) and genetic analysis of selected terpenes in 90 tree samples. Our study suggests a closer connection between populations II and III compared to population I. Based on the profile of the main terpene components, the studied populations are more similar to populations from Kosovo and Greece than to the population from Mt. Mokra (Montenegro) and the population in France.
