Biomass And Chemical Composition Of Improved Genotypes Of Medicinal Plant Species Cultivated In Four Cities Of São Paulo State, Brazil [biomassa E Composição Química De Genótipos Melhorados De Espécies Medicinais Cultivadas Em Quatro Municípios Paulistas]

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the production and chemical constituents of selected genotypes of Artemisia annua, Cordia verbenaceae, Phyllanthus amarus and Mikania laevigata cultivated in Altinópolis, Campinas, Jales and São Carlos. Biomass variations, and qualitative and quantitative differences in plants chemical composition are observed among the locations, with higher values of interesting substances being detected in Jales.415869872Adams, R.P., (1995) Identification of Essential Oil Components by Gas Chromatography/ quadrupole Mass Spectroscopy. 3rd Ed., 456p. , Carol Stream: Allured PubCeleghini, R.M.S., Vilegas, J.H.Y., Lanças, F.M., Extraction and quantitative HPLC analysis of coumarin in hydroalcoholic extracts of Mikania glomerata Spreng.
