Abstract
The variation in volatile components (terpenes) in n-hexane extracts of leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn. and two regenerated plants was investigated. The new derivative plants were regenerated from multiple shoots using plant hormones 6-Benzylaminopurine (BA) and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) from nodal segments. The main components in the in vivo plants were shown to be γ-terpinene and o-cymene (66.95 and 17.84, respectively). The in vitro regenerated plants exhibited high levels of α-phellandrene (36.58 %, 39.23 %) followed by o-cymene (16.87 %, 17.35 %). The results suggested that the in vitro culture can be used to produce variants in the essential oil compositions of plants such as E. camaldulensis Dehn.
