Headspace-SPME of in vitro shoot-cultures and micropropagated plants of Lavandula viridis, Biologia Plantarum 52: 133-1360006-3134AUT: ARO01015;http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/2562In this work the volatiles emitted from in vitro shoot-cultures and micropropagated plants of Lavandula viridis L’Hér. were characterized and compared with those obtained from the field-grown mother-plant, using headspace solid phase micro-extraction following by capillary gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS). The headspace composition consisted mainly in oxygenated monoterpenes (66.7 - 79.2 %), where the major constituents emitted by the mature field-grown mother-plant, in vitro shoot-cultures and micropropagated plants were 1,8-cineole (74.0, 51.9 and 57.8 %) and camphor (2.9, 15.3 and 8.7 %), respectively. The headspace of in vitro shoot-cultures and micropropagated plants showed greater amount of α-pinene, camphene, β-pinene, β-selinene and selina-3,7(11)-diene, when compared with the field-grown mother-plant.engCapillary GC/MS1,8-cineoleFragrancesLavenderMicropropagationVolatilesjournal article
