Özet

Variation of terpenes and resin acids in needles of young Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings from nine different provenances in Turkey was investigated. The provenances represent 1200-km West to East and 400-km South to North transects. Seven monoterpenes and two sesquiterpenes were reported in the needles of pines studied. Generally, the kinds of terpenes were similar but the relative amount of some compounds differed among the origins. The major components of the monoterpene fraction in Turkish sources were a-pinene (84.8%), beta-pinene (4.1 %) and limonene (3.0%), corresponding to 91.9% of the crude needle extract. In a PCA-analysis, 3-carene, myrcene and terpinolene in seedlings from Turkish provenances were quite low and thus, they were clearly different from a Northern European Scots pine provenance from Finland. In the resin acid fraction, abietic acid (62.4%) and dehydroabietic acid (16.1%) were the most abundant constituents in the needles of the Scots pine from Turkish provenances. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
