Major Field of Science: | Agricultural Sciences | Field Category: | Agricultural Biotechnology | Keywords: | Antioxidants;Essential oil;Lavandula angustifolia;Mineral accumulation;Soilless culture | Issue Date: | 1-May-2016 | Source: | Industrial Crops and Products, 2016, vol. 83, pp. 577-586 | Volume: | 83 | Start page: | 577 | End page: | 586 | Journal: | Industrial Crops and Products | Abstract: | Lavandula angustifolia (Mill.) is a multidisciplinary medicinal and aromatic plant of great importance in fragrance and pharmaceutical industries and/or landscaping. Minerals rate affect yield and quality of medicinal plants therefore, this experiment was conducted in order to determine the effects of nitrogen (N: 150-175-200-225-250 mg/L) and phosphorus (P: 30-40-50-60-70 mg/L) levels on the morphological and biochemical characteristics of lavender under hydroponic condition. The results indicated that P levels mainly affected plant growth, while lower N levels (150 mg/L) reduced chlorophylls content. Essential oil yield was remained unaffected under N and P levels. The N levels greater than 200 mg/L as well as 60 mg/L of P, benefited antioxidant status (total phenols, DPPH, FRAP, flavonoids). The main constituents of leaves essential oil (1.8-cineole, borneol, camphor, α-terpineol, myrtenal) and mineral accumulation were affected by N and P treatments. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/9257 | ISSN: | 09266690 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.indcrop.2015.12.067 | Rights: | © Elsevier | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology | Publication Type: | Peer Reviewed |
