Morphogenetic Variation for Essential Oils in Salvia palaestina Bentham Leaves and Bracts from Turkey
Sengul Karaman

Abstract: Essential oils from leaves and flowers of Salvia palaestina collecting from a wild population of K. Maras provinces in Turkey were obtained by hydrodistillation. The chemical composition of the essential oils was determined by GC/MS and morphogenetical differences in the oil composition of the plant leaves and bracts were obtained. The main constituents of the essential oils were obtained as β-caryophyllene (31.6%) and Germacrene-D (20.9%) in leaves and Linalool (40.21%) and Linalyl acetate (31.3%) in bracts. The result showed that the oil exhibited different oil composition according to plant parts.
