L. is an aromatic medicinal plant widely cultivated in many world regions. has been increasingly acknowledged over the years as it provides an essential contribution to the food and pharmaceutical industries and cultural integrity. The commercial value of this species derives from its essential oil, whose application might be extended to various industries. The chemical composition of the essential oil depends on environmental conditions, location, and season during which the plants are collected, drying methods, extraction, and analytical conditions. The characterization and chemotyping of essential oil are extremely important because the changes in composition can affect biological activities. Several aspects of the plant's secondary metabolism, particularly volatile production in , are still unknown. However, understanding the molecular basis of flavor and aroma production is not an easy task to accomplish. Nevertheless, the time-limited efforts for conservation and the unavailability of knowledge about genetic diversity are probably the major reasons for the lack of breeding programs in . The present review gathers the scientific evidence on the research carried out on L., considering its cultivation, volatile composition, biochemical and molecular aspects, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.
罗勒是一种芳香药用植物，在世界许多地区广泛种植。多年来，它越来越受到认可，因为它对食品、制药行业以及文化完整性都做出了重要贡献。该物种的商业价值源于其精油，其应用可能会扩展到各个行业。精油的化学成分取决于环境条件、地理位置、采集植物的季节、干燥方法、提取和分析条件。精油的表征和化学分型极其重要，因为成分的变化会影响生物活性。该植物次生代谢的几个方面，特别是罗勒中挥发性成分的产生，仍然未知。然而，了解风味和香气产生的分子基础并非易事。尽管如此，保护工作时间有限以及缺乏遗传多样性方面的知识，可能是罗勒缺乏育种计划的主要原因。本综述收集了关于罗勒研究的科学证据，涉及它的种植、挥发性成分、生化和分子方面以及抗氧化和抗菌活性。
