The genus Anthemis L. belongs to the family Asteraceae, is the second largest genus in the Compositae family, tribe Anthemideae, about 130 species of genus Anthemis occur throughout the world consists of 39 annual and perennial species distributed all over of Iran. According to literature, this species was not the subject of research up to nowtherefore its chemical composition is not well known. In this research three samples of Anthemis coelopoda . were collected from Gilan province, in the 2020. specimen is deposited in Central H and analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Main components from sample one Gilan: Loshan, before Hanifa Imamlower were β- calacorene 35.9%, Elemicin 24.0% and n-dodecanol 8.8% and in leaf were β- calacorene 26.8%, elemicin 13.9% and n-dodecanol 11.8%, and essential oil yield from flower were 0.04% and leaf were 0.03%. Main components from sample two Gilan: southwest of Rudbar, Lake 1181 meters high, in flower were γ- cuprenene 18.2%, n-dodecanol 13.8% and geranyl propanoate 7.4% and in leaf were n-dodecanol 13.5%, - terpinen-7-al 10.8% and geranyl propanoate 10.2%, and essential oil yield from flower were 0.10% and in lead were 0.07%. Main components from sample thee Gilan: Loshan, before Hanifa Imamzadeh, near the cement mine, 801 meters high, in flower were n-dodecanol 11.8%, - terpinen-7-al 9.3% and Cumin aldehyde 8.8% and in leaf were n-dodecanol 14.9%, - terpinen-7-al 11.1% and 5-hydroxy isobornyl isobutanoate 10%, and essential oil yeild from flower were 0.09% and in leaf were 0.06%. Sampling simultaneously on one day from three different areas (Samples 1 and 3 were collected from one area but at a great distance) their essential oils were examined for chemical composition and the results indicate different combinations and amounts in a species. This difference can be the result of differences in soil type and different plant water uptake.

Saffron petal is the main by-product of saffron processing which produced at high level but is not applied and thrown out. Saffron petal is containing of several compounds such as mineral agents, anthocyanins, flavonoids, glycosides, alkaloids and kaempferol. As saffron petal is cheaper and produces in large amounts compared to saffron stigma, so, it can be considered as an appropriate source for different purposes. The field experiment was carried out under drayland farming system in 2015 and 2016. The vegetative parts of the plants were treated with spraying foliar fertilizer as Delfard(D) (7 kg ha-1 ) and Phloral (P) (2.5 kg ha-1) with three replications. In this study essential oils from flower petals of saffron extracted by water distillation method (Calavenger apparatus), and volatile also phytochemical compounds were evaluated by gas chromatography (GC), and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Total of 27 volatile components were identified. Main components from Saffron petal essential oil foliar fertilizer treatment D1 were Methyl pentanoate (67.2), Isophorone (17.2%) and Hexanal (3.0%) and Saffron petal essential oil foliar fertilizer treatment P1were Methyl pentanoate (57.6%), 3,3,5-trimethyl-cyclohexene (57.6%), Hexanal (4.3%). Differences in compound proportion and composition were observed among the treatments. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the changes in the phytochemicals compounds of essential oils from flower petals of saffron from Damavand which cultivated in dry farming in a Cold and semi-steppe climate, it was representative of many dryland regions of Iran with about 330 mm rainfall Comparison with foreign samples. This is the first research conducted on Iranian saffron volatiles according to their geographical origin. Various methods were selected to extraction essential oil from Crocus sativus L. Finally, the results of this experiment showed the compatibility and successful of the growth and production of saffron quantitatively and qualitatively in dryland conditions of relatively high areas.
