The content of oils in umbelliferous crops and its formation
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this study is to give an overview about content and constituents of oils found in umbelliferous crops and the conditions influencing oil content in those crops. The large family Umbelliferae is rich in essential oils. Oils play the phytosanitary role by preventing parasites and diseases from developing or by acting like selective weed-killers in order to keep the ground clean around the plant. Factors influencing oil content in umbelliferous crops are: the latitude of cultivation, the climatic and weather conditions, diurnal and annual rhythm, salinity, fertilization, irrigation, growth retardants, plant development, the plant part used, variety, harvesting and storage.

متن کاملAging in Orthodox Seeds is a Problem
Seed deterioration is loss of seed quality, viability and vigor due to effect of adverse environmental factors. Many of our crops are reproduced through seeds, and throughout the world large quantities are produced, stored and transported. Seed ageing during storage may cause retardation of field establishment, and may eventually result in seedling abnormalities or even failure of emergence. Du...
