Description

Rosmarinus officinalis is an evergreen aromatic plant with important commercial interest as it contains numerous essential oils (composed of terpenoid compounds) and phenolic constituents (natural antioxidant compounds). This work aims at evaluating the concomitant effects of different inorganic and organic fertilization treatments and the subsequent increases in soil nutrient availability on terpenoids and other carbon-based secondary metabolites, e.g., flavonoids and phenolic compounds, in Rosmarinus officinalis leaves.

Notes

This research received financial support from COST Action FP0903 under an STSM of Isabel Nogues at CEBAS, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Murcia, Spain)
