唇形科是一个富含芳香物种的植物科,需求很高,如罗勒,薰衣草,薄荷,牛至,Sage,还有百里香.它有很大的经济性,生态,民族植物学,和植物区系的重要性。这项工作的目的是提供有关唇形科物种的空气生物学的最新观点,强调新颖性和新兴应用。从空气生物学的角度来看,这个植物家族的最大利益与植物排放的挥发性有机化合物有关,在更小的程度上,他们的花粉。研究表明,该植物家族的植物释放的主要挥发性有机化合物是单萜和倍半萜。研究中报道的最重要的单萜包括α-pine烯,β-pine烯,1,8-桉树脑,薄荷醇,柠檬烯,和γ-萜品烯.大多数报告倾向于涵盖尼泊尔亚科的物种。挥发油是由气生器官上发现的腺毛产生的。根据一般形态学,在唇形科中发现了两种主要类型,即骨盆状和头状毛状体。作为传粉者介导的花粉转移的结果,唇形科物种的雄蕊数量和花粉数量减少。这可能解释了这些物种在空气中存在花粉的可能性很低。这项工作中提供的实验证据的初步概要表明,这些植物释放的有机颗粒和分子与其环境的相互作用可以在农业和园林绿化中产生有益的结果。新出现的报告提议将其用于间作,以确保成功地进行结果化,增加昆虫作物的产量,以及由于挥发物的治疗作用而在感官花园中。
Lamiaceae is a botanical family rich in aromatic species that are in high demand such as basil, lavender, mint, oregano, sage, and thyme. It has great economical, ecological, ethnobotanical, and floristic importance. The aim of this work is to provide an updated view on the aerobiology of species from the family Lamiaceae, with an emphasis on novelties and emerging applications. From the aerobiology point of view, the greatest interest in this botanical family is related to the volatile organic compounds emitted by the plants and, to a much lesser extent, their pollen. Research has shown that the major volatile organic compounds emitted by the plants from this botanical family are monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. The most important monoterpenes reported across studies include α-pinene, β-pinene, 1,8-cineole, menthol, limonene, and γ-terpinene. Most reports tend to cover species from the subfamily Nepetoideae. Volatile oils are produced by glandular trichomes found on aerial organs. Based on general morphology, two main types are found in the family Lamiaceae, namely peltate and capitate trichomes. As a result of
pollinator-mediated transfer of pollen, Lamiaceae species present a reduced number of stamens and quantity of pollen. This might explain the low probability of pollen presence in the air from these species. A preliminary synopsis of the experimental evidence presented in this work suggests that the interplay of the organic particles and molecules released by these plants and their environment could be leveraged for beneficial outcomes in agriculture and landscaping. Emerging reports propose their use for intercropping to ensure the success of fructification, increased yield of entomophilous crops, as well as in sensory gardens due to the therapeutic effect of volatiles.
