Stanev2, K. Rusanov1, I. Atanassov1 1 AgroBioInstitute, 8 Dragan Tsankov, 1164 Sofia, Bulgaria Institute of Roses a Aromatic Plants, 49 Osvobozhdenie, 6100 Kazanlak, Bulgaria 2 Abstract. The composition of laveer inflorescence volatiles a distilled essential oils is significantly influenced by a number of factors, which makes it difficult to perform comparative analysis for larger laveer genetic resource collections a segregating populations. In the present study we test a simple procedure for GC/MS analysis of inflorescence volatiles, including frozen inflorescence sample storage, milling a hexane extraction of volatiles. A comparative GC/MS analysis of volatiles extracted from inflorescence samples a present in the distilled laveer oils derived from single bushes of seven Bulgarian laveer cultivars was carried out. The GC/MS analysis identified a total of 32 iividual volatiles including all 11 volatiles included in the laveer ISO Staard The analysis of three parallel hexane extracts from the same inflorescence samples showed good reproducibility of the determined relative abuances of the analyzed volatiles. The relation of the GC/MS data on inflorescence volatiles with the composition of the distilled laveer essential oils was evaluated through analysis of the volatile recovery rates for the analyzed cultivars. The performed ANOVA test of the variances of the calculated recovery rates of iividual volatiles showed that they are significantly influenced by the studied cultivars. The possibilities for application of the applied extraction procedure a comparative analysis of flower a inflorescence volatile compositions for large sets of laveer accessions a segregating populations are discussed. Keywords: laveer, inflorescence volatiles, essential oil, GC/MS, solvent extraction Introduction The iustrial cultivation of laveer (Lavaula angustifolia Mill.) a production of laveer essential oil in Bulgaria have been rapidly expaing during the last decade (Stanev et al., 2013). The increased growing of laveer has raised the need of breeding new highly productive laveer cultivars which are better adapted to the local environmental coitions, with plant shape suitable for efficient mechanized cultivation a flower collection. The preservation of the high quality of the produced essential oil is an ultimate coition for each new breeding line a cultivar developed, in spite of the particular breeding target. The characterization of laveer genetic resources a breeding lines commonly involves gas chromatography analysis (GC/FID or GC/MS) of the volatile composition of the distilled essential oils, (Smigielski et al., 2009; Chograni et al., 2010; Hassiotis et al., 2010; Verma et al., 2010; Kara a Baydar, 2012; Machado et al., 2013). However, the compositions of laveer inflorescence volatiles a distilled essential oil are significantly influenced by a number of factors such as the stage of inflorescence development, environmental coitions, daytime period of harvesting, flower storage a processing, (Guitton et al., 2010a, 2010b; Smigielski et al., 2011; Turek et al., 2012; Turek a Stintzing, 2012; Maietti et al., 2013; Zheljazkov et al., 2013). This requires the inflorescences of all laveer lines a accessions characterized within a particular study to be collected a subjected to essential oil distillation simultaneously within a short period of time in order to minimize the influence of the external factors. All this poses a significant drawback to the correct comparative characterization of larger sets of laveer accessions a segregating populations a hampers the application of modern plant breeding methods. Here we describe the results from evaluation of a simple procedure for laveer inflorescence sample collection, processing, solvent extraction a GC/MS analysis of volatiles. The study involves a comparative GC/MS analysis of the volatiles in the inflorescence extracts a distilled essential oils from single bushes of Bulgarian laveer cultivars. Material a methods Plant material Laveer inflorescences from single bushes of seven Lavaula angustifolia cultivars including cv. Jubileina, Hemus, Hebar, Raya, Sevtopolis, Drujba a Karlovo were collected on 29 June 2012 between 1 pm a 3 pm from the experimental field of the Institute of Roses a Aromatic Plants, Kazanlak, Bulgaria. Ten raomly chosen inflorescences were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen a stored in closed containers at -80 C for later processing. The rest of the collected inflorescences were used for immediate distillation of laveer essential oil. Essential oil distillation Freshly harvested inflorescence material (100 g) was subjected to steam distillation for 1 h for the extraction of the essential oil. The oil was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate a stored at -80 C prior analysis. Flower metabolite extraction a sample preparation for GC/MS analysis The laveer inflorescence material stored at -80 C was grou into fine powder in Teflon jars using liquid nitrogen a the Qiagen Tissue Lyser II Mill (1 min at 30 Hz). Eight hured mg of the grou inflorescence samples were transferred to 20 ml glass vials * tzvetelina.zagorcheva@gmail.com 459
6 a extracted with 4 ml hexane (Sigma-Aldrich) containing 160µl/l 4-methyl-2-pentanone (Sigma-Aldrich) as internal staard at room temperature in a vortex (Vortex Genius 3, VWR) at 2000 rpm for three hours. The samples were centrifuged at 3000 g for 15 min. The clear supernatant was transferred into 5 ml vials, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate a stored at -80 C prior analysis. The grou inflorescence sample from each laveer cultivar was used to carry out three parallel extractions a GC/MS analysis. The laveer essential oil samples were prepared for GC/MS analysis by diluting 1 μl of essential oil in 1 ml of hexane containing 160µl/l 4methyl-2-pentanone as internal staard (Sigma-Aldrich, Canada). GC/MS analysis The GC/MS analysis of the prepared flower extracts a diluted laveer oil samples was carried out on Agilent 7890A/5975C GC/MS system equipped with Agilent 7683B Series autosampler. All compous were separated on DB-WAXetr polar column (Agilent Technologies) utilizing polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a stationary phase with helium 5.0 as a carrier gas at a septum purge flow of 3 ml/min, splitless injection of 1 μl a injector temperature 250 C. Oven program: from 65 C to 170 C at 1.5 C/min. The massselective detector was operated at electron impact ionization voltage of 70 ev. GC/MS Data a statistical analysis Iividual chemical compous in all analyzed samples were identified using the AMDIS ver deconvolution software (National Institute of Staards a Technology (NIST), USA) by comparing the obtained mass spectra of iividual compous with the NIST 2008 mass spectral library a a custom-built MS library consisting of compous identified previously in laveer oils. In order to minimize scoring of false positive signals the deconvolution parameters in AMDIS were set to resolution (low), sensitivity (very low) a shape requirements (low). Retention iex was calculated for each compou using C10-C40 n-alkane mixture (SigmaAldrich). The relative abuances of all identified compous in the analyzed samples were calculated as pick areas of the analyzed compous were normalized to the pick area of the internal staard 4-methyl-2-pentanone. Data analysis a single factor ANOVA testing was performed using Microsoft Excel software (Microsoft Corporation). Results a discussion The composition of volatiles extracted from laveer inflorescences a present in the distilled essential oils were subjected to comparative GC/MS analysis. Inflorescence samples from single bushes of seven Bulgarian laveer cultivars were frozen in liquid nitrogen, milled a extracted with hexane. The obtained extracts were GC/MS analyzed in parallel with the essential oil samples distilled from the inflorescences collected from the same bushes. The preliminary testing of extractions with different solvents including chloroform, ethyl acetate a hexane a different periods of extraction produced similar GC/MS spectra a demonstrated that the applied hexane extraction for three hours produced the best results in terms of peak quality, (data not shown). Custom built AMDIS MS library consisting of 32 iividual compous identified in different inflorescence a essential oil samples was constructed. The total number of library hits detected within analysis of iividual inflorescence samples varied from 24 to a correspoingly from 24 to 29 for the analyzed laveer oils (Table 1). Nineteen volatiles were detected in all inflorescence samples, 21 in all essential oil samples a 17 in all analyzed samples. All eleven volatiles included in the laveer ISO Staard 3515, ISO3515 (2002) were detected within the applied GC/MS analysis (Table 1). The comparison of the calculated relative abuances of the volatiles detected in GC/MS analysis of the three parallel extractions from each inflorescence sample showed good reproducibility of the volatile extraction a analysis, with relative staard deviations /RSD/ varying from 4% to 38% for the iividual compous with average RSD values below 20%. The further comparison of the results from GC/MS analysis of the inflorescence extracts a essential oil samples for each cultivar reveals three groups of volatiles detected only in part of these samples. The compous from the first group, including cis-geraniol a transgeraniol, were well detected in all essential oil samples but not in the hexane extracts. This is most possibly due to the less efficient hexane extraction of these compous from inflorescence samples a/or increase of their relative abuances in the volatile pools following the essential oil distillation. This group could also be expaed including camphor but the obtained data don't allow to correctly estimate whether this compou is inefficiently extracted from fluorescence samples or is present in low abuance uer the GC/MS detection limit in the majority of the tested samples. The volatiles from the seco group, including β-sesquiphellarene a α-bergamotene, were detected in higher abuances in the inflorescence extracts rather than in the essential oil samples possibly due to their more efficient hexane extraction than essential oil distillation. The third group of volatiles is more complex a includes compous detected only in inflorescence or essential oil samples of single but not all analyzed cultivars, for example the absence of 1-Octen-3-ol in the essential oil from cv. Hebar or αterpineol in inflorescence extract of cv. Jubileina (Table 1). The reasons for such lack of detection of a particular compou in only one type of the samples, inflorescence extract or essential oil originating from the same bush of iividual laveer cultivar, are not clear. The parallel collection of inflorescences for preparation of both types of samples from each single bush/cultivar should largely suppress the variation in their volatile composition caused by the environmental factors. Thus, one of the possible causes could be that the volatile composition of the inflorescence sample used for hexane extraction differs from the volatile composition of the entire inflorescence of the sampled bush. In a recent study Guitton et al. (2010) reported that the abuances of most of the iividual laveer volatiles strongly depe on the stage of single flower development. From the other side the laveer flower development is related to uneven development of the flowers within a single inflorescence a uneven development of the separate inflorescences within the same bush (Upson a Arews, 2004; Guitton et al., 2010; Lane et al., 2010). All this makes it possible to speculate that at least some of the observed differences of the volatile pools of the inflorescence extracts a essential oils originating from a single laveer bush are a result from the pointed uneven flower a inflorescence development within the sampled bushes. The possible depeence of the recovery rate of a particular compou from its relative abuance in the volatile pool of the tested laveer genotype could be another source for the observed discrepancies between volatile compositions of the inflorescence extracts a essential oils. The GC/MS data from the present study allow to evaluate the possible influence of abuances of particular compous in the inflorescence volatile pool over their recovery rate in the distilled essential oils. To do this we calculated the ratio

Assuming that the rates of recovery of the particular volatiles in the distilled essential oils do not depe significantly on the relative abuances of the volatiles in the analyzed inflorescence volatile pool, we evaluated such 'null hypothesis' using one way ANOVA. The results of the analysis demonstrate that the recovery rates of the volatiles present in both inflorescence extracts a essential oil samples significantly depe on the tested cultivar, i.e. on the volatile composition of the inflorescences (Table 1). The obtained results differ from the observed earlier relative stability of the volatile recovery rates for essential oil distilled from the oil bearing rose Rosa damascena (Rusanov et al., 2011). The present dataset doesn't allow to point out the cause(s) for the observed cultivar depeent variations of the volatile recovery rates. The possible causes could be the above pointed uneven flower a inflorescence development within single laveer bush a/or specific features of the laveer oil steam distillation procedure which differ from those used for rose oil distillation. However, the observed genotype depeence of the volatile recovery rates makes it unrealistic to extrapolate the GC/MS data from 461
8 inflorescence extract analysis for preliminary assessment a prediction of the composition of essential oil distilled from the same inflorescence pool. It further largely hampers the possible application of the GC/MS analysis of solvent extracts from small inflorescence samples for comparative characterization of a larger set of laveer accessions or iividual bushes from segregating populations in respect to their essential oils. The above described variations of the volatiles recovery rates also make it difficult to apply GC/MS analysis of laveer essential oil for correct characterization of the impact of particular genotype a allele configuration, necessary for application of modern plant breeding. Considering the reported by Guitton et al. (2010) changes of the volatile pool composition during laveer flower development a the above discussed problems it is possible to suggest that an efficient strategy for correct comparative characterization of flower volatile composition of a set of laveer genotypes has to include at least three separate analyses of iividual flowers collected from each genotype. The proposed three analyses have to be carried out with solvent extracts from flowers at stages 1, 3 a 5 of flower development, according to Guitton et al. (2010) correspoing to early flower development, fully open flowers a seed formation stages. Thus analyses of the pointed flower stages will represent all three groups of volatiles possessing different accumulation pattern within the flower development a therefore the complexity of the volatile pools of the laveer flower a inflorescence with impact on the distilled essential oil. Conclusion The procedure for solvent extraction of laveer inflorescences a GC/MS analysis of extracted volatiles tested in the present study identifies nearly all volatiles detected in the distilled essential oil, including those from the ISO3515:2002 laveer oil staard. However, the performed ANOVA test of variances of the ratios between relative abuances of iividual volatiles in the distilled essential oils a inflorescence extracts from single bushes of the tested cultivars showed significant influence of the cultivars over the calculated volatile recovery rates. This suggests that a detailed characterization a comparative analysis of volatile pools of laveer genetic resources collections a segregating populations will require collection, solvent extractions a GC/MS analysis of iividual flowers at several stages of flower development related to accumulation of specific volatile subsets.
