Abstrakt: AbstractThe seeds of five populations of Bunium persicum, collected from Iran (three populations), India (one population) and Pakistan (one population), were analyzed for essential oil contents and compositions. Duncan’s multiple range tests revealed higher oil yield in Iranian populations than the populations of India and Pakistan. Eleven compounds were identified in the essential oils. The major component in Iranian, Pakistan and Indian populations were γ-terpinene (39.7–41.9 %), α-terpinen-7-al (37.2 %) and cuminaldehyde (37.1 %), respectively. The first two components of the PCA also confirmed that there were main differences in oil composition in the populations of these three countries.
