PHYTOCHEMICAL VARIATION OF DIFFERENT LEAF EXTRACTS OF HYPTIS SUAVEOLENS (L.) POIT. COLLECTED FROM SIX DIFFERENT LOCALITIES IN SOUTH INDIA

Kamaraj, E, Kumaran, S, Mujeera Fathima

Abstract

With increasing resistance of pest and pathogens to insecticides, pesticides and antibiotics, natural products from plants could be interesting alternatives for the synthetic chemicals. Some plant extracts and phytochemicals are known to have antimicrobial properties, and can be of great significance in therapeutic treatments. Hyptis suaveolens (L.) Poit. (Family Lameaceae) is an aromatic weed distributed through tropics and subtropics of the world. It has been reported in the previous studies that the plant H.suaveolens collected from different localities in south India shows genetic diversity. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the phytochemical variations according to the genetic diversity and the phytogeographical conditions. The result of present investigation shows that high level of genetic diversity causes changes in the phytoconstituents which could be attributed to the alterations in the environmental factors.
