研究目的
This study aims to evaluate the effects of four light treatments (viz. blue, red, red-blue, and white LEDs) on the essential oil composition of two Perovskia species (namely, P. abrotanoides and P. atriplicifolia), and assess variations in the phenolic and flavonoid contents in both roots and leaves of Perovskia in response to the different light wavelengths.
研究成果
The study concludes that LED wavelengths show a reducing effect on the monoterpene content but a tendency for increasing the sesquiterpene content in the Perovskia species studied. Elevated levels of polyphenolic compounds and carotenoids are detected in both species under the blue light. The findings might be useful for selecting valuable compounds in the species studied for further evaluations.
研究不足
The study is limited to two species of Perovskia and four artificial light treatments. The effects of other environmental factors and light wavelengths are not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study evaluates the variations in essential oil yield, composition, polyphenolic content, and some primary metabolites in Perovskia abrotanoides and P. atriplicifolia in response to four artificial light treatments including red, blue, red-blue, and white generated by LEDs compared with natural lighting.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Seeds of the two Perovskia species were collected from two provinces of Iran and identified using the Flora Iranica.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
LED-growth chamber, light meter (LI-250A, LI?COR Inc., USA), Clevenger type apparatus, Agilent 7890 gas chromatograph, Hitachi f-2500 fluorescence spectrophotometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Plants were grown under natural condition, then transferred to LED-growth chamber. Essential oil was extracted via hydrodistillation method. GC–MS and GC-FID analyses were performed to analyze essential oil composition. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined using Folin–Ciocalteu colorimetric method and aluminum chloride colorimetry method, respectively. Chlorophylls and carotenoids were determined using fluorescence spectrophotometer.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
ANOVA, LSD, correlation coefficients, HCA, and PCA were performed to analyze the data.
