ABSTRACT:

This review provides a summary of the physiological dynamics and regulation of essential oil production, from the literature and available information on diverse volatile oil crops. Essential oil production is highly integrated with the physiology of the whole plant and so depends on the metabolic state and preset developmental differentiation programme of the synthesising tissue. Essential oil productivity is ecophysiologically andenvironmentally friendly. These and other aspects of the modulation ofessential oil production are presented, along with a brief outline of the current concept of the relevant biosynthetic mechanisms.
