Salinity Impact on Growth, Essential Oil Content and Composition of Coriander (Coriandrum sativumL.) Stems and Leaves

Plant growth-promoting bacteria and silicon fertilizer enhance plant growth and salinity tolerance inCoriandrum sativum

“…Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is an important annual Apiaceae species that has nutritional and medicinal value, and is widely used as herb and spice (Neffati and Marzouk 2010). The growth and physiology of coriander plants is adversely affected by salinity (Meriem et al 2014).…”

Nutrient uptake, biomass yield and quantitative analysis of aliphatic aldehydes in cilantro plants

“…In addition, cilantro's essential oil has been used in the food industry for its aroma and flavor, or to mask unpleasant odors of certain foods, due to its distinctive pungent, fatty, and aldehydic aroma (Matasyoh et al, 2009;Neffati and Marzouk, 2010). The main aromatic compounds are aliphatic aldehydes (mainly C 10 -C 16 aldehydes) with a fetid-like aroma in the fresh herb oil (Potter, 1996).…”

“…These compounds possess characteristic green, soapy, and cilantro-like aromas and are particularly important in the overall aroma of the C. sativum herb (Cadwallader et al, 2005). Reports on cilantro have evaluated both environmental and genetic factors which influence biomass production of the leaves, quality, and yield of the essential oils (Eyres et al, 2005;Neffati and Marzouk, 2010). Lopez et al (2008) described phenotypic, biochemical and molecular diversity in cilantro populations maintained at the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station.…”

Agronomic and phytochemical aspects of cilantro and stevia crops

“…Furthermore, cilantro's essential oil has applications in the food industry as aroma and flavor to mask unpleasant odors since has a distinctive pungent, fatty, and aldehydic aroma. (MATASYOH et al, 2009;NEFFATI;MARZOUK, 2010). The main aromatic compounds found in the essential oil are aliphatic aldehydes (mainly C 10 -C 16 aldehydes) with a fetid-like aroma in the fresh herb oil (POTTER, 1996).…”

“…It is well known that genetic and environmental factors influence the biomass and essential oil production (EYRES et al, 2005;NEFFATI;MARZOUK, 2010).…”
