Abstract

Objective: Comparison of morphological and phytochemical characteristics of annual and perennial wild and cultivated Kakuti in Razavi, North and South Khorasan provinces.

Methods: In this study, Ziziohora tenuior and Ziziphora clinopodioides was studied in sex region in Razavi, North and South Khorasan province in 2021.Plant samples were collected from each region and was planted in pots. The experimental design used in this experiment was a nested design with four replications.Also, by referring to the places where plants were collected in the target areas, all the morphological and phytochemical traits were measured for wildplants.

Results: Based on the results the most percentage of essential oil in annual and perennial kakuti belonging to Qain (0.75%) and Qochan (2.29%) respectively. Also, the percentage of pulgone in the annual kakuti in Bardeskan was higher than other studied cities (77.58%). The highest alphapinene (0.42%) and sabinen (1.31%) percentage of annual kakuti was belonging to Bojnord while of perennial kakuti essence in Qochan (0.89%) and bijnord (1.23%) was more than other cities.

Conclusion: The amount of phenol, flavonoid and antioxidan activity in annual and perennial kakuti under natural conditions and in Sarayan was higher than other treatments. Annual and perennial kakuti belonging to Bojnord had higher wet and dry yields than other ecotypes, while kakuti belonging to Sarayan had superiority in phytochemical characteristics.
