| Popis: | Cupressus atlantica Gaussen is an endemic and threatened forest tree mainly located at the western High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. This study is a pleading for protection and restoration of this particular Mediterranean cypress species, through the characterization of chemical variability of its essential oils (EOs) and their recovery in different fields, especially as protective treatment against wood decaying fungi. Composite samples of leaves, twigs, and cones were collected within five populations. Sapwood and heartwood sawdust oils were also analyzed. EOs were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS. C. atlantica oils are characterized by high chemical variability between types of biomass and populations. Thus, leaves and twigs oils are dominated by hydrocarbon monoterpenes; those of wood by oxygenated monoterpenes and oxygenated sesqueterpenes, and those of cones by hydrocarbon monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. Three chemical profiles have been identified in leaves oils within s... |
