چکیده
Myrtus communis L. young and mature Leaves were collected in Fars (the southern province of Iran). The aim of this research was to investigate essential oil content and composition of myrtle leaves which were at different ontogeny stages. Essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation method using Clevenger apparatus, the oils were analyzed by GC–MS. Highest content of essential oil were recorded from young leaves. Thirty and twenty constituents were identified in young and mature oil leaves which represented 97.8% and 99.51% of the oils, respectively. In these two ontogeny stages α-pinene (34.0-42.8%), Limonene (4.0-23.2%), 1, 8-Cineole (20.5-23.2%), Linalool (9.210.1%), Linalool acetate (5.9-7.3%), were identified as main components.

Essential oil extracted from the leaves of Myrtle, Myrtus communis L. (Myrtaceae)was tested in vitro for volatile toxicity against two stored-product insects (Tribolium confusum and Callosobruchus maculatus). The chemical composition of the plant oil was examined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The major oil components were α-pinene (10.4%), α- Terpineol (10.1%), linalool (9.0%...
