Essential oil variability in Eugenia dysenterica fruits

Essential oil variability in Eugenia dysenterica fruits - Natural Product Research, p.10.1080/14786419.2021.1947273, 2021 .

Essential oils (EOs)of Eugenia dysenterica fruits from seven populations were assessed using GC/MS and chemometric analysis. Variations in EOs between populations and three operational chemical units (OCUs), combined with foliar Mn2+ as an environmental variable, indicate that 86.8 percent of variation in oils was explained by these predictors. Variance partitioning shows that the largest pure contribution was attributed to foliar Mn2+ (13.1 percent), followed by OCU (11.4 percent). Populational origin contributed with lowest variance (6.6 percent).
