摘要

Matricaria chamomilla L. is a medicinal and aromatic plant belongs to Asteraceae family, commonly referred as chamomile. It is widely used in both folk and traditional medicine. Due to its different pharmacological activities, its essential oil and dried flowers are commonly used for medicinal purposes. In this current study, the impact of foliar application of salicylic acid (SA), acetyl salicylic acid (ASA), and methyl jasomonate (MJ) was investigated on morpho-physiological features, yield, and chemical composition of chamomile cultivated in Western Himalayan region of India. This factorial experiment comprised of seven treatments: control, SA (0.5 and 1.0 mM), ASA (0.5 and 1.0 mM), and MJ (0.5 and 1.0 mM). Results of above experiments revealed that MJ@1.0 mM concentration is the best in increasing the growth and yield while chlorophyll and carotenoid content were maximum in SA@1.0 mM. In qualitative phytochemical investigation, MJ@1.0 mM had the highest phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant potential. The treatments also have substantial effects on composition of essential oils. The GC-MS analysis revealed the existence of 10 major compounds, the composition of which changes depending on the treatment employed and majorly includes α-Bisabolol, α-Bisabolol oxide B, α-Bisabolone oxide A and Bisabolol oxide A. In conclusion, it was observed that the use of MJ at a concentration of 1.0 mM proves beneficial, promoting better growth performance, higher yield, and a rich phytochemical composition in Matricaria chamomilla.
