Abstract

Effects of soil water on plant growth,contents and components of essential oil in fennel were studied,by controlling soil water content at low(relative water content,45%-50%),middle(relative water content,60%-75%)and high(relative water content,75%-100%)levels.The results showed that,with increasing of soil water content,plant height,number of node,root and shoot fresh weight(FW),plant fresh weight,content of total carbon,yield of essential oil per.plant and Chl.a/Chl.b ratio were elevated,but root/shoot ratio,contents of total nitrogen,proteinic nitrogen,Chl.a,Chl.b and CAR were decreased;Number of inflorescence,contents of essential oil and soluble sugar were higher in middle level water treatment,while they were lower in low and high level water treatments;Twenty-two chemical compounds were also identified in different soil water treatments,relative content was no difference(α=0.05)in α-pinene,sabinene,β-pinene,γ-terpinene,terpinolen and myristicin,but was significant(α=0.05,0.01)in other sixteen compounds;With increasing water content,content of(E)-anethole,the dominant component in essential oil,was enhanced at 41.34%,53.87% and 62.97%;Limonene was the second abundant material in oil,its content was decreased at 44.77%,34.77% and 22.16%.This study indicated that lower water content had a positive role in accumulation of limonene,and higher water content was relatively favour for storage of(E)-anethole in fennel.
