Regulation of essential oil production in plants | Semantic Scholar (2025)

The purpose of this review is to summarize recent publications on the variation of essential oil and its composition with regards to physiological aspects of the plants.

A crucial feature of the current chapter is a critical review of the recent updates of essential oil production, underlining these aspects with a case study, using the commercially valuable sandalwood oil as an example, to emphasize the genetic modification strategies for enhancing sandal wood oil.

The recent research on types and structure of essential oil-bearing cells, secretion mechanisms, and effect of different environmental factors on essential oil biosynthesis have been comprehensively reviewed and will provide new research directions for the researchers working in the field of aromatic plants physiology, essential oil production and many others applications.

In this review, research in which plant growth regulators or their synthetic analogs were used and their effects on essential oil production are presented.

The physiological and biochemical basis of drought tolerance in Cymbopogon martinii has been elucidated on the basis of growth and metabolic responses.

The state of the science about nutrient effect on terpenoid production is reviewed, with a focus on isoprene emissions and mono- and sesquiterpenoid emissions and concentrations according to fertilizing treatments and their potential interaction with other environmental factors.

This chapter aims to introduce proven or putative mechanisms by which PGPRs promote seed germination, growth, nutrient acquisition, and production of primary and secondary metabolites in aromatic and medicinal plants.

In vitro drought stress induced by mannitol effected the biochemical, physiological and metabolic responses, suggesting that its beneficial effect can be exerted on the main essential oil contents of seedlings and calli.

The aim of this chapter is to highlight the essential oil content, chemical composition, and biological activities of Baccharis milleflora.

La capacite a incorporer in vivo l'acetate[2- 14 C] dans les constituants des huiles essentielles (citral et geraniol), l'activite geraniola deshydrogenase, et les teneurs en certaines enzymes importantes generatrices de pouvoir reducteur durant le developpemet de the feuille de Cymbopogon flexuosus.

The green yield and essential oil yield decrease as the intervals increase, as does the ratio between citronellol and geraniol in the essential oil.

The essential oils of Artemisia annua were isolated and analyzed at different stages of flowering using a combination of GC and GC/MS to derive the proportion of artemisia ketone (the most abundant component) and oil yield.

Kinetin at 10 mg l−1 increased the number of flowers produced on Rosa damascena plants while GA3 inhibited flowering, and a novel compound 10- methyldihydrozeatin riboside and isopentenyl-adenine were identified from TLC fraction-II.

The long-day treatment of Mentha spp.
