T h e results of crossing experiments between a dihydrocarvone type of M e n t h a s u a v e o l e~z s (M e n t h a s u a v e o l e n s 12) and piperitone oxide types of resp. M e n t h a l o n g i f o l i a (M. l o n g i f o l i a 3) and M e n t h a szcaveolens (M. s u a v e O 1 e n s 6) and of two backcrossing experiments are given. Morphol~gicall~ the hybrids stood midway between the parent plants. Chemical analysis showed that in al1 cases the formation of dihydrocarvone was dominant over the formation of piperitone oxide and that M. 1 O n g i f 01 i a 3 and M. s u a v e o 1 e n s 6 are recessive for the same gene. Starting from a compound like diosphenolene, with an oxygen function both ut C-2 and ut C-3, and which is present when the gene c is homozygously present, substitution of the gene c by the dominant C involves reduction of the oxygen ut C-3 leading t o C-2 oxvgen compounds like carvone. In ccaa types substitution of the gene a by the dominant gene A will involve the reduction of the oxygen ut C-2 leading to C-3 oxygen compounds like piperitenone. The gene C is supposed to he epistatic over A. This explanation seems more likely than the one previously given by MURRAY (1960b) ut which the dominant gene C is held responsible for the oxydation o f a monoterpene hydrocarbon (limonene) ut C-2 leading t o carvone etc. and its recessive allele is responsible for the oxydatio~z ut C-3 leading to piperitenone etc. whereas the dominant gene A involves the reduction of the double bond 1,2 of piperitenone (-t pulegone) and piperitone (+ menthone). A scheme is discussed in which a dominant gene P is held responsible for the saturation of the double bond 4,8 (MURRAY et al., 1971) and in which a hypothetical, dominant gene is responsible for the saturation o f the double bond 1,2 of piperitenone and of the double bond 1,6 of carvone. In a previous publication (H E N D R I K S and V A N OS, 1972) the chernical analysis of a piperitone oxide type of Mentha longifolia (L.

“…Mentha longifolia, the other putative parent, has a somatic chromosome number of 2n = 24 in Europe, Asia, and Africa: Armenia (Makarov & Reznikova, 1972), Turkey (Harley & Brighton, 1977), and the former Yugoslavia (Harley & Brighton, 1977). Both the morphology and chemistry, however, vary widely, and at least 20 essential oil chemotypes can be identified (we have omitted populations with 2n = 48 and 2n = 36, which we interpret as M. spicata or M. ×villoso-nervata Opiz): (1) cis-and trans-piperitone oxide; (2) cis-and trans-piperitone oxide and piperitenone oxide; (3) piperitenone oxide; (4) piperitone and limonene; (5) piperitone and carvone; (6) menthone and piperitone; (7) menthone and menthol; (8) menthone; (9) menthyl acetate, menthol, and menthone; (10) menthol; (11) (Shimizu & Ikeda, 1961;Baquar & Reese, 1965;Sticher & Flück, 1968;Hendriks & van Os 1972;Lawrence & Morton, 1974;Bayraktar-Alpmen, 1975;Kartnig & Still, 1975;Karasawa & Shimizu, 1978;Lawrence, , 1981bLawrence, , 1982aBanthorpe & al., 1979Banthorpe & al., , 1980Bellomaria & Valenti, 1979;Kapil & Sinha, 1979;Kuwahara & al., 1979;Kokkini-Gouzkouni, 1983;Bellakhdar & al., 1985;Vidal & al., 1985;Kokkini & Papageorgiou, 1988;Maffei, 1988;Shikimaka & Vorob'eva, 1988;Souleles & Argyriadou, 1988;Melkani & al., 1990;Fleisher & Fleisher, 1991Karasawa & al., 1995;Kokkini et al, 1995;Venskutonis, 1996;Baser & al., 1997;…”

Two clones of Mentha arvensis L., both with 2n = 72 from Europe, one with 49.20 ± 2.28% pulegone, another with 57.31 ± 9.41% linalool, were hybridized with M . longifolia (L.) L. from Europe with 2n = 24 and 51.87 ± 0.50% trans-piperitone oxide. The F 1 hybrids had essential oils rich in pulegone, isomenthone, menthone, trans-isopulegone, menthol, neomenthol, 3-octanol, linalool, cis-piperitone oxide, trans-piperitone oxide, carvone, limonene, piperitenone oxide, trans-carveol, trans-sabinene hydrate, 3-octanone, terpinen-4-ol, (Z)-ßocimene, geranyl acetate, citronellyl acetate, and/or ß -caryophyllene. Thirty-nine F 1 hybrids of this cross are similar to 23 clones of M . canadensis L. from North America and Asia with 2n = 96 when compared by chromosome numbers, morphology, and essential oils. Mentha canadensis is proposed as a relict amphidiploid of the mixed mesophytic flora of the Lower Tertiary.

The analysis by capillary GC and GC-MS of the volatile oil of Culuminthu nepetu (L.) Savi subsp. glandulosa (Req.) P.W. Ball, endemic to Greece, showed the presence of at least 46 components, of which 31 were identified, corresponding to 98% of the total. The major components were found to be the two diastereoisomers of piperitone oxide (55%) and P-bisabolene (8.5%). According to the literature, the essential oil of the species C. ne eta (L.) Savi, has been studied quite pulegone, menthone and isomenthone as the main components. However, it seems that the pattern of volatiles in the subsp. glandulosa differs completely. The use of the plant in traditional folk medicine and the presence of 11 unknown constituents detected in the previous study,'* lead us to investigate further this particular subspecies. Botany of the University of Thessaloniki where a voucher speciman is deposited (E.K.). From the pulverized plant material, the oil (0.9%) was isolated by hydr~distillation,'~ the weight of plant material to distilled water volume was 1:12, the distillation rate 3 mlimin, and the distillation time 3 h. The oil was limpid and yellowish, its specific density lower than water. The sample used for G C and GC-MS analysis was collected directly in 1.0ml of pentane and dried over magnesium sulphate. GC and GC-MS AnalysisFor the identification and structural elucidation of the components, a Finnigan mass spectrometer model 4000 with an INCOS 2000 data system, was used. A Carlo Erba 4160 gas chromatograph equipped with a Grob-type split-splitless injector, contained a fused silica capillary Carbowax 20M permaphase column, 25m x 0.23mm i.d., coupled directly to the ion source by a fused silica capillary. Helium was the carrier gas with a back pressure of 0.8 atm. The temperature programme, used for G C analysis and for GC-MS was: W C , 60-220°C (6"C/min) and then isothermal for 10min ( Table 1). The injection temperature was 240°C. The electron impact ionization mode Received 2 March I989 Accepted 12 June 1989 24 E. KOKKALOU AND E. STEFANOU conditions were the following: ionization energy 70 eV; ionizer temperature 250°C; mass range 35-220mlz; scan time 1.9 s; electron multiplier voltage 1700V. The GC analysis as well as the quantitative measurements chromatographic conditions were the same as for the GC-MS analysis. The identification of components was carried out by comparison of their RRT and MS with those of the authentic samples, literature1"l6 and a computerized MS-data bank.The two diastereoisomers of piperitone epoxide, mentioned by Hefendehl" gave the following ion fragments, mlz (%)
