  • The Chromosome-Based Lavender Genome Provides New Insights Into
    Li et al. Horticulture Research (2021) 8:53 Horticulture Research https://doi.org/10.1038/s41438-021-00490-6 www.nature.com/hortres ARTICLE Open Access The chromosome-based lavender genome provides new insights into Lamiaceae evolution and terpenoid biosynthesis Jingrui Li1,2, Yiming Wang 3,YanmeiDong1,2, Wenying Zhang1,2,DiWang1, Hongtong Bai1,KuiLi3,HuiLi1 and Lei Shi1 Abstract The aromatic shrub Lavandula angustifolia produces various volatile terpenoids that serve as resources for essential oils and function in plant-insect communication. To better understand the genetic basis of the terpenoid diversity in lavender, we present a high-quality reference genome for the Chinese lavender cultivar ‘Jingxun 2’ using PacBio and Hi-C technologies to anchor the 894.50 Mb genome assembly into 27 pseudochromosomes. In addition to the γ triplication event, lavender underwent two rounds of whole-genome duplication (WGD) during the Eocene–Oligocene (29.6 MYA) and Miocene–Pliocene (6.9 MYA) transitions. As a result of tandem duplications and lineage-specific WGDs, gene families related to terpenoid biosynthesis in lavender are substantially expanded compared to those of five other species in Lamiaceae. Many terpenoid biosynthesis transcripts are abundant in glandular trichomes. We further integrated the contents of ecologically functional terpenoids and coexpressed terpenoid biosynthetic genes to construct terpenoid-gene networks. Typical gene clusters, including TPS-TPS, TPS- CYP450, and TPS-BAHD, linked with compounds that primarily function as attractants or repellents, were identified by fl 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; their similar patterns of change during ower development or in response to methyl jasmonate. Comprehensive analysis of the genetic basis of the production of volatiles in lavender could serve as a foundation for future research into lavender evolution, phytochemistry, and ecology.

  • Ethnomedicinal Uses of Genus Lavandula (Lamiaceae) in Turkish
    International Journal of Academic and Applied Research (IJAAR) ISSN: 2643-9603 Vol. 4 Issue 2, February – 2020, Pages: 5-16 Ethnomedicinal Uses of Genus Lavandula (Lamiaceae) in Turkish Traditional Medicine Mustafa Eray Bozyel*, Elif Merdamert-Bozyel Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Science, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Canakkale, TURKEY *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Lavandula L. (Lamiaceae) is a widely distributed medicinal plant throughout the world and has been used since ancient time. Popular indications of the several species of this genus include treatment of stomach diseases, headache, inflammation, pains, insomnia, diuretic and expectorant. Phytochemical investigations of Lavandula species have revealed that many components from this genus are highly bioactive. There are many reports on the mentioned ethnomedicinal effects. As a result of the study, the authors found that six Lavandula taxa and two multi-herbal formulas are used as herbal medicine in Turkish traditional medicine.

In the present study were analysed the responses to salinity and drought in greenhouse-controlled conditions of two varieties of Lavandula angustifolia . Three-month-old lavender seedlings were subjected to water deficit and salt stress (100, 200 and 300 mM NaCl) during a 30-day period. Complementing a previous analysis focused on stress tolerance mechanisms based on the regulation of ion transport and the synthesis of osmolytes, we have now evaluated the effects of the water deficit and salt treatments on the generation of secondary oxidative stress, by measuring malondialdehyde levels, and the activation of antioxidant systems, both non-enzymatic and enzymatic, determining total phenolic compounds and flavonoids contents and calculating superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase specific activities, respectively, in extracts of control and stressed plants.

  • Lavandula Angustifolia (Common Or English Lavender) Size/Shape
    Lavandula angustifolia (Common or English Lavender) Lavender produces gray foliage and purple flowers. The lavender-blue flowers form on loose spikes. Most plants are 0.5-1 m tall and 0.5 m in spread. Soft leaves are borne on erect, square, hairy stems. It has a strong scent and small leaves .The plant is a perennial in the northern part of its range .The plants grow best in a sunny location in a dry, somewhat infertile soil. Lavenders are widely grown as ornamentals; they are tidy, low-maintenance plants that serve well as borders, knots, in rock gardens, and with roses. They are very sensitive to pH, which should be kept above 6. The oil of lavender is a mainstay in perfumery, and the fragrance is widely used in soaps and cosmetics. Flowers for drying must be harvested before opening. Cultivars with pink, blue, lavender or white flowers also exist..

The material used for herbal purposes includes lavender flowers (Lavandula flores) containing essential oil (3%), anthocyanins, phytosterols, sugars, minerals, and tan- nins. The qualitative and quantitative composition of the essential oil of lavender is vari- able and depends on genotype, growing location, climatic conditions, propagation, and morphological features. The essential oil contains over 300 chemical compounds. The dominant components are linalool, linalyl acetate, terpinen-4-ol, acetate lavandulol, oci- mene, and cineole. Lavender essential oil has good antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and a significant positive effect on the digestive and nervous systems. Lavender extract prevents dementia and may inhibit the growth of cancer cells, while lavender hydrolate is recommended for the treatment of skin problems and burns. Key words: lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, herbs, essential oils, phytotherapy, secondary plant metabolites INTRODUCTION The active compounds present in herbs exhibit multidirectional phytothera- peutic activity and are used in the treatment of gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and urinary infections, as well as in chronic diseases of children and Composition, biological properties and therapeutic effects of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia L.).
