title: Chamomile biodiversity and essential oil qualitative-quantitative&lt;br&gt;characteristics in Egyptian production and Iranian landraces
abstract: This study presents the genetic and environmental variations of essential oil and its sesquiterpene composition (/-/- -bisabololoxide A, /-/- -bisabololoxide B, /-/- -bisabolol and chamazulene) in natural growing chamomile population in Iran in comparison with the cultivars, which are cultivated in Egypt. The highest contents of /-/--bisabololoxide A, /-/-bisabolonoxide A and /-/--bisabololoxide B were typical for chamomile plants, which flower anthodia were collected in various places in Egypt.
