“…Trans-anethole, estragole, fenchone and limonene are the major constituents of the essential oil of bitter fennel fruits (Bernath et al, 1996;Venskutonis et al, 1996). These, along with some other components, provide the unique aroma and taste.…”

In the present study, seeds from local cultivar of fennel were germinated on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) without plant growth regulators. Different types of explants from the growing seedling such as cotyledonal leaves, hypocotyls, epicotyls and roots were cultured on MS medium, contained different concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) either alone or with kinetin. Differential responses in the essential oil constituents were observed in the induction and development of callus. The major components of essential oils includes estragole, trans-anethole, limonene and fenchone were studied under different conditions to find out the best methods which could be used to reduce the amount of estragole (not favorite for human consumption) and increase the amount of trans-anethole.

“…Fato confirmado pelos os mesmos autores, que afirmam que a abertura estomática é controlada pelas células-guarda que formam os estômatos; processo que também controla a quantidade de CO 2 absorvido para ser utilizado na fotossíntese. O tipo de estômato anomocítico também foi observado nas primeiras folhas de várias outras plântulas de diferentes espécies, nestas não ocorre outro tipo de complexo estomático (Mourão et al, 2002;Cabral et al, 2004;Figuerôa et al, 2004;Souza & Oliveira, 2004;Toledo et al, 2004;MoreiraConeglian & Oliveira, 2006;Mussury et al, 2006;Ortolani et al, 2007), indicando que o tipo de estômato não representa um caráter que deve ser usado para diferenciação de plântulas de erva-doce, mesmo Fanh (1990) afirmando que os tipos de estômatos podem ser usados em taxonomia vegetal de plantas adultas.…”

“…Mesmo existindo trabalhos que enfatizam a utilização de extratos em ensaios biológicos, sendo uma espécie com grande potencial de uso medicinal, além de uso na indústria cosmética e por representar importante fonte de renda para os produtores, poucas pesquisas foram realizadas com enfoques anatômico e fisiológico com a espécie F. vulgare (Bernath et al, 1996;Sousa et al, 2005), além disso, também são escassas as pesquisas com anatomia de plântulas com a família Apiaceae (Pütz & Sukkau, 2002;Hackbart & Cordazzo, 2007), bem como com outras espécies medicinais.…”

RESUMO:A erva-doce, Foeniculum vulgare Mill. (Apiaceae), é uma erva entouceirada, aromática que apresenta propriedades condimentares e medicinais; tem origem Européia e é amplamente cultivada em todo o Brasil. Devido à deficiência de informações relativas à organização estrutural de plântulas de espécies medicinais, o presente estudo teve como objetivo fornecer informações sobre a anatomia e o desenvolvimento de plântulas de F. vulgare. As sementes de erva-doce foram semeadas em areia e mantidas em casa de vegetação por 25 dias, sendo realizadas regas diárias. Foram selecionadas plântulas normais e de padrão uniforme, que tiveram raiz, zona de transição, caule, cotilédones e primeiras folhas seccionados à mão livre. Este material foi corado e montado em lâminas com glicerina para observação em microscópio. Em todos os órgãos da plântula de erva-doce a epiderme é unisseriada, cuticularizada e com estômatos; sendo que as duas últimas estruturas não são encontradas na raiz, porém esta apresenta pêlos unicelulares e cônicos. Os cotilédones e as folhas apresentam funções fotossintéticas e nutricionais, indicadas pela presença de grande quantidade de estômatos, cloroplastos e amido. A caracterização anatômica de plântulas de F. vulgare auxilia na identificação da espécie e no conhecimento da organização celular, fornecendo informações que auxiliam em estudos fisiológicos, taxonômicos e ecológicos. Palavras-chave: Foeniculum vulgare Mill., erva-doce, germinação, identificação de plântulasABSTRACT: Anatomical aspects of the Foeniculum vulgare Mill. seedling. Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare Mill. (Apiaceae), is a forming clumps herb and presents aromatic, medicinal and condimental properties. It has European origin and is widely cultivated and used in Brazil. Due to lack of information concerning the structural organization of seedlings of medicinal species, this study aimed to provide information about the anatomy and development of F. vulgare seedlings. The seeds fennel was sowed in sand and maintained in greenhouse for 25 days, with daily waterings. Were selected normal seedlings and with patterns uniforms, for freehand seccion of root, transition zone, stem, cotyledons and first leaves. This material was stained and mounted on slides with glycerol for observation under microscope. In all the parts of seedling fennel the epidermis is uniseriate, with a cuticle and stomata, and the two latter structures are not found in the root, but has tapered hairs unicellular. The cotyledons and the leaves have photosynthetic and nutrition functions, as indicated by the presence of large numbers of stomata, chloroplast and starch. The anatomical characterization of the F. vulgare seedling aids in specie identification and knowledge of cellular organization, providing information that assists in physiological, taxonomic and ecological studies.

Foeniculum vulgare .Mill. commonly known as Fennel belonging to the family Apiaceae, is a small, erect and aromatic herb. A number of chemical constituents and various therapeutic effects of this herb have been reported by different workers. Extensive investigations have been carried out on different parts of herb and as a consequence, varied classes of compounds fatty acids, hydrocarbons and sterols, Furocoumarins; (imperatorin, psoralen, bergapten, xanthotoxin and isopimpinellin), Flavonoids; (isorhamnetin 3-O-α-rhamnoside, quercetin and kaempferol) and quercetin; (3-O-rutinoside, kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside and quercetin 3-O-β-glucoside) have been isolated. So, it has been used in ethnomedicine to exploit its medicinal properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antifungal, antibacterial, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities. The presented review summarizes the information about the ethnopharmacology, toxicity, phytochemistry and biological activity of F. vulgare.
