Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Methyl chavicol was a major basil essential oil component across all treatments.
- Observation Linalool was a major basil essential oil component across all treatments.
- Intervention effect Salinity with 200 mgl -1 Zn increased linalool content.
- Observation Germacrene D was a common basil oil constituent.
- Observation 1,8-cineole was a common basil oil constituent.
- Observation (Z)--bergamotene was a common basil oil constituent.
- Observation (E)--farnesene was a common basil oil constituent.
- Observation -bulnesene was a common basil oil constituent.
- Observation camphor was a common basil oil constituent.
- Observation (E)--ocimene was a common basil oil constituent.
- Intervention effect At fixed foliar zinc, salinity raised most listed essential oil constituents.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that moderate salinity with balanced zinc shifted primary metabolism toward volatile oil biosynthesis.
- Observation Basil was judged to have production potential in prevalent semi-saline conditions.
