Title: Comparison of five Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt. genotypes in Hungary
Abstract: In our research work five Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt. accessions (GB, J3, JTD3, PS3, 588P) of different origin were evaluated in an open-filed experiment in 2014. Fresh biomass, number of glandular hairs, essential oil content and composition were studied. The dried herb was hydrodistilled and the oil analysed by GC-MS. The components were identified by MS libraries and their LRIs. Highest fresh biomass was produced by the accession JTD3 (864 g·plant -1 ) while the lowest fresh weight was measured in the population of 588P (396 g·plant -1 ). The highest dlandular hair density (1130 hairs·100 mm -2 ) and essential oil content (1.4 ml·100 g -1 d.w.) was detected in the population 588P while the lowest result were detected in J3 (22 hairs·100 mm -2 , 0.14 ml·100 g d.w. -1 ). Based on the essential oil composition the investigated populations represent different chempotypes. In PS3 and GB the main components of the essential oil was s-dehydro- elsholtzia ketone (54-76 %), they are belong to the elsholtzia ketone (EK) chemotype. The main components of the essential oil in J3, JTD3, 588P population were perilla aldehyde (60-78%), limonene (6-15%) and s-caryophyllene (5-6%) (PA – perillaaldehyde chemotype).
