“…Moreover, the production of volatiles depends on the salt concentration. Since we noted an oil enhancement at moderate salt concentrations and a marked drop at highest salt concentrations as reported in Coriandrum sativum (Neffati and Marzouk 2008), Salvia officinalis at vegetative and fructification stages (Ben Taarit et al 2009a, b) and Thymus maroccanus (Belaqziz et al 2009). However, in other species, essential oil production was affected negatively by all salt concentrations such as Melissa officinalis (Ozturk et al 2004) and Origanum majorana (Baatour et al 2010).…”

“…The oil yield enhancement observed at moderate salt concentration in clary sage and in other aromatic species (Belaqziz et al 2009;Ben Taarit et al 2009a, b;Neffati and Marzouk 2008) can be considered as an adaptation trait to salinity. Indeed, Pichersky et al (2006) mentioned that free volatiles are glycosylated and stored in cell vacuoles to likely increase cellular swelling and thus to contribute to decrease the effect of osmotic stress inherent to salinity.…”

Since soil salinity is a widespread problem, we proposed to focus on its effect on seedling growth, mineral composition and particularly on essential oil composition known to be reliable to abiotic conditions. Clary sage seedlings were hydroponically cultivated under different salt concentrations (0, 25, 50, and 75 mM NaCl). The dry biomass and the mineral element contents were determined. The essential oils were extracted and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Results showed that growth was reduced by 42% at 75 mM. This growth decrease was accompanied by a decrease in tissue hydration and a slight restriction in K ? uptake, as well as an increase in Na ? levels. Concerning essential oil yields, the application of 25 mM NaCl increased significantly the oil yield which decreased with increasing salt concentration. Besides, the chemical composition of clary sage was found to be also strongly affected by salt treatment since each salt concentration appeared to induce a different new chemotype in clary sage essential oil.

“…Recovered essential oil from S. sclarea seeds appeared to be near to literature data which showed that inflorescences oil yield of a cultivated strain developed in India [23]. In S. officinalis, the fruits of sage cultivated in Tunisia are distinguished by oil yields of 0.39% [24]. Thereby seeds appeared as oil-moderate organs contrary to the different other parts of the species owing to the genus Salvia its aromatic reputation amongst Lamiaceae family.…”

The essential oils of seeds of Salvia verbenaca, Salvia officinalis, and Salvia sclarea were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry. The oil yields (w/w) were 0.050, 0.047, and 0.045% in S. verbenaca, S. sclarea, and S. officinalis, respectively. Seventy-five compounds were identified. The essential oil composition of S. verbenaca seeds showed that over 57% of the detected compounds were oxygenated monoterpenes followed by sesquiterpenes (24.04%) and labdane type diterpenes (5.61%). The main essential oil constituents were camphor (38.94%), caryophyllene oxide (7.28%), and 13-epi-manool (5.61%), while those of essential oil of S. officinalis were -thujone (14.77%), camphor (13.08%), and 1,8-cineole (6.66%). In samples of S. sclarea, essential oil consists mainly of linalool (24.25%), -thujene (7.48%), linalyl acetate (6.90%), germacrene-D (5.88%), bicyclogermacrene (4.29%), and -copaene (4.08%). This variability leads to a large range of naturally occurring volatile compounds with valuable industrial and pharmaceutical outlets.

“…It has been reported that, seedling growth of Thymus maroccanus [10], basil, chamomile and marjoram [9] were severely decreased depend on salt stress. Some researchers said that morphological characteristics of number of medicinal plants were effected under salt stress conditions such as number of leaves, leaf area and leaf biomas in reduced form as Majorana hortensis [11], peppermint [12] , geranium [13], Thymus vulgaris [14], sage [15] and Mentha pulegium [16].…”

Salinity is one of the most environmental problems in arid and semi-arid region. It is an abiotic stress factor which restricts crop production and affects development of plants. One of the these plants is basil (Ocimum basilicum). It is an annual medicinal and aromatic plant from Lamiaceae family. The present study was carried out to determine the response of different salt concentrations from 0 to 240 mM doses which increasing 20 mM. The experiment was conducted with randomized complete block design with 3 replications and placed 20 number from seeds of each plant in petri dishes. 39 petris were used consisting from 1 plant x 13 salt levels x 3 replicats. Germination tests were made at constant temperature (29±1 °C), dark field and drying oven in laboratory conditions. Appropriate test solution was placed at each petri dish being 5 ml and was changed with an interval of two days. According to the study results, germination speed and power of basil seeds completed within 3-15 days. The results noted that root lenght changed between 0.08-5.07 cm, shoot lenght changed between 0.1-5.82 cm in the basil and they changed between 10-100% germination rate between the 0-240 mM salt concentrations. The lowest germination speed and power were seen in 240 mM and the highest germination speed and power were seen in 20 mM except control condition. Germination percentage of basil seeds were decreased from 0 (control) to 240 mM. In addition to this, the highest shoot and root lenght were obtained from 20 mM and the lowest shoot and root lenght were obtained from 240 mM except control condition. Root lenght/shoot lenght was also determined changing between 0.43-1.27. According to results, it was determined that germination number and rate, shoot and root lenght were statistically affected by different salt doses. Considering different salt doses, the highest number of germination was obtained from 20 mM salt dose, the lowest value was determined in 240 mM salt application compared to control application. It is suggested that salt tolerence studies should be preferred under 200 mM salt dose to obtain the germination number and rate over 80% in different salt doses and in order to grow the basil under salted areas.
