Holy
basil
(Ocimum
sanctum
L.),
a
sacred
medicinal
plant
in
India
is
widely
used
in
Indian
and
other
international
traditional
medicinal
systems.
Eleven
accessions
of
the
plant
have
been
characterized
for
21
quantitative
and
qualitative
traits
and
six
essential
oil
components.
Three
different
harvesting
stages
of
accessions
grown
in
western
India
were
collected
for
selecting
superior
accessions
with
desirable
morphological
and
chemical
characters
affecting
yield
and
contributing
traits
for
industrial
use.
The
essential
oil
was
extracted
by
hydro
distillation
and
the
characterized
by
gas
chromatograph-mass
spectrometry.
The
colour
of
the
leaves,
new
branches
and
inflorescence
varied
from
green
to
purple-green.
The
basil
accession,
DOS-1,
resulted
in
maximum
dry
leaf
recovery
(230
g
kg
−1
),
total
chlorophyll
content
(1.25
mg
g
−1
),
carotenoid
content
(8.5
mg
mL
−1
)
and
number
of
peltate
glands.
The
oil
content
in
green
herbage
was
maximum
in
DOS-1
(50
g
kg
−1
),
followed
by
DOS-3
(44
g
kg
−1
)
at
crop
maturity.
Maximum
oil
and
eugenol
yield
was
also
observed
in
DOS-1
(73
kg
ha
−1
and
67
kg
ha
−1
).
Overall,
DOS-1
accession
was
found
superior
for
leaf
recovery,
oil
yield
and
eugenol
content
and
therefore,
can
be
used
further
in
crop
improvement
and
commercial
cultivation
as
a
new
selection
