Abstract
Knowledge of population diversity is a main prerequisite and the first step in plant breeding and domestication. Essential oils from different species of Lavandula L. (Lamiaceae) are extensively used in cosmetics, hygiene products, and alternative medicines. The essential oils of Lavandula × intermedia leaves collected from ten regions from the Zagros regions, Western Iran were investigated for their chemical components and oil yield diversity. The hydrodistillated essential oil analyzed by GC-FID and GC/MS. Results indicated differences (p≤0.05) among the various populations of L. × intermedia for essential oil yield. The major components of the essential oils from various populations of L. × intermedia were 1,8-cineole (31.64–47.94%), borneol (17.11–26.14%), and camphor (8.41–14.4%). In conclusion, the main source of variability in chemical composition and oil yield seemed to be a difference in environmental conditions.
