of 19 accessions of basil, of which 14 are grown in Sudan as ornamental
plants, 3 were introduced from abroad as seeds and 2 were collected from
wild Sudanese basil. All were collected as seeds and grown at the University
of Gezira farm. Interesting morphological variability among the accessions
was noted and recorded in photos. The essential oil content varied from
0.33 to 0.47% in fresh leaves and from 0.13 to 0.4% in fresh flowers.
The essential oil components were separated and/ or identified by TLC,
GC and GC-MS. Chemical variability among Sudanese basil essential oil
was extremely broad.According to the major constituent the basil
accessions were classified into 7 groups, namely, high methyl chavicol
(>50%), high linalool (>50%), high geraniol (>50%), linalool-
methyl cinnamate, linalool-geraniol, methyl cinnamate- linalool and eugenol-linalool.
Such classification of Sudanese basil oils is much needed if international
marketing of this oil(s) is contemplated.]]>Cavalcanti, E.S., S.M. Morais, M.A. Lima and E.W. Santana,2004Aedes aegypti L.]]>99541544Charles, D., J. Simon and K.
