Abstract

Different organs of Verbascum species (mullein) have great importance in the pharmaceutical industry, because they are containing saponins, phenols, flavonoids, and mucilage. The west of Iran is one of the most important centers of mullein diversity. In order to recognize and utilize of potential of native genotypes in breeding programs, mullein diversity in northwest of Iran was studied in 40 regions of West Azerbaijan, East Azerbaijan, and Kurdistan provinces. The present study was done based on phytochemical diversity (total phenol content, flavonoid content, saponin content, and antioxidant activity). According to the results, notable diversity for Verbascum germplasm was recorded in northwest of Iran. Also, a significant difference among studied genotypes was observed. The highest amount of total phenol (44.35 mg GAE / g DW) was observed in the root organ of genotype G8 (V. stachydiforme). The highest amount of total flavonoids (6.32 mg QE / gDW) was observed in leaves of G2 (V. erianthum) genotype. Based on the results of present research G2, G8, G10, and G14 genotypes are introduced as superior genotypes in point of total phenol, total flavonoids, total saponin, and antioxidant activity. Therefore the introduced genotypes can be used as selected sources in breeding programs after supplementary studies.
