Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of seasonal and diurnal events on the chemical profile of the essential oil obtained from the leaves of Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. This study was performed in a Brazilian savanna named Cerrado. We identified the best harvesting period for obtaining the highest amount of compounds used for commercial and industrial purposes. The chemical profile of the essential oils was evaluated by GC-FID and GC-MS, and the results were assessed through multivariate analyses. The data showed that the time of day and seasonal variations affect the quality of the essential oil obtained. Leaves harvested at the end of the day (5:00 pm) in the dry season resulted in richer essential oils with higher amounts of non-oxygenated sesquiterpenes. To the best of our knowledge, environmental conditions induce metabolic responses in the leaves of C. langsdorffii, which changes the patterns of sesquiterpene production. Therefore, these factors need to be considered to obtain better concentrations of bioactive compounds for pharmacological studies.

<abstract>
<p>The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of seasonal and diurnal events on the chemical profile of the essential oil obtained from the leaves of
<italic>Copaifera langsdorffii</italic>
Desf. This study was performed in a Brazilian savanna named Cerrado. We identified the best harvesting period for obtaining the highest amount of compounds used for commercial and industrial purposes. The chemical profile of the essential oils was evaluated by GC-FID and GC-MS, and the results were assessed through multivariate analyses. The data showed that the time of day and seasonal variations affect the quality of the essential oil obtained. Leaves harvested at the end of the day (5:00 pm) in the dry season resulted in richer essential oils with higher amounts of non-oxygenated sesquiterpenes. To the best of our knowledge, environmental conditions induce metabolic responses in the leaves of
<italic>C</italic>
.
<italic>langsdorffii</italic>
, which changes the patterns of sesquiterpene production. Therefore, these factors need to be considered to obtain better concentrations of bioactive compounds for pharmacological studies.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Understanding the seasonal events that change the quality of plant volatile compounds is essential for pharmacological studies. Generally, essential oil constituents are influenced by genetic factors and environmental conditions [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. The terpenoid composition of aromatic plants can be affected by the photoperiod, light intensity, temperature and harvesting season or month [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
].</p>
<p>The Cerrado biome, a typical savanna-like vegetation in the central region of Brazil, displays seasonal characteristics that promote changes in the water availability and quality and quantity of light [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
], which, in turn, result in modifications in the essential oil production and chemical composition of plant products [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
]. The Cerrado consists of complex types of vegetation that range from grasslands to woodlands [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
]. In addition, this biome is subjected to seasonal events such as the occurrence of dry winters (April to September), which result in changes on the phytochemical profile of essential oils [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
] and trigger oscillations on their biosynthesis, yield and composition [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
]. Previous studies found a significant impact of the seasonal variation on the essential oil composition of several species such as
<italic>Zizyphus spina-christi</italic>
(L.) Willd [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
],
<italic>Ocimum basilicum</italic>
L. [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
],
<italic>Laurus azorica</italic>
Franco (Seub.) [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
] and
<italic>Baccharis dentata</italic>
(Vell.) G.M. Barroso [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
]. Furthermore, changes in the terpenoid concentration of the essential oils due to diurnal variation have also been observed. A reciprocal regulation between α-cadinol and δ-cadinene occurs in
<italic>Calendula arvensis</italic>
L. [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
], and a lower conversion of mentone to menthol under high temperatures occurred in the essential oils of
<italic>Mentha piperita</italic>
L. [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
].
<italic>Rosa damascena</italic>
Mill. flowers modified the essential oil composition during the day, showing an increase of oxides concentrations at 12:00 pm and a decrease during other times of the day [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
].</p>
<p>
<italic>Copaifera langsdorffii</italic>
Desf. (Fabacecae-Ceasalpinoidae), popularly known as copaíba, is a native species of tropical regions of Latin America [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>

A voucher was deposited in the Irina Delanova Gemtchujnicov Herbarium (BOTU) under number 29,274 at the Institute of Biosciences of Botucatu, UNESP. We collected one sample per individual at 6:00 am (early morning) and 5:00 pm (afternoon) at the end of dry season (DS) and wet season (WS). According to the literature [

<title>Extraction and analysis of essential oils</title>
<p>The essential oils were extracted by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger apparatus. Each sample consisted of 50 g of dried leaves distilled for 120 min. The essential oil yield was calculated by weight as (g) of oil per (g) of dry material and expressed as percentage of oil in the dried leaves. The quantitative analysis of the essential oil compounds was obtained by gas-chromatograph GC (Shimadzu GC-2010) equipped with flame ionization (GC–FID) and using a DB-5 (J and W Scientific; 30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm) capillary column. Helium was used as the carrier gas, and the injector temperature was 240˚C.; the detector temperature was 230˚C, the gas flowed at 1.0 mL/minute, and it was split 1/20. The temperature program was set at 60˚C-200˚C at 3˚C/minute and 200˚C-240˚C at 15˚C/minute. The injection temperature was 230˚C. The injection volume was 1.0μL and consisted of a sample preparation that included 1.0 μL of essential oils added into 1.0 mL of ethyl acetate. The qualitative analysis of the essential oil compounds was performed on a gas-chromatograph (GC) coupled to a mass spectrometer (MS; GC–MS; Shimadzu QP-5000) operating at a MS ionization voltage of 70 eV. The chromatograph was equipped with a fused silica capillary column DB-5 (J and W Scientific; 30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm), and helium was used as the carrier gas. The temperature program was 60˚C-240˚C at 3˚C/minute. The injection temperature was 220˚C. The injection volume was 1.0 μL of sample preparation that contained 1.0 μL of essential oils added into 1.0 mL of ethyl acetate. The compounds were identified by comparing their mass spectrum to those of the database on the GC-MS (NIST 62.lib and Wiley 139.Lib) literature [

<p>We performed multivariate and box plot analyses following the values of major compounds. In addition, an agglomerative hierarchical cluster (AHC) was performed following a 118 squared Euclidean distance dissimilarity matrix, which was calculated by the Ward’s linkage. We also constructed a matrix of correlation by a principal component analysis (PCA) and to identify whether a significant difference exists between the means of two groups—6:00 am and 5:00 pm—during the wet and dry seasons we used Student's t-test (p ≤ 0.05).</p>

<p>The weather conditions, particularly light intensity and precipitations, affected the essential oil composition. During the dry season, the average precipitation was 52.88 mm, and this value reached 582.88 mm during the wet season. A decrease in the light intensity was observed during the wet season, with an average of 286 μmol m
<sup>-2</sup>
s
<sup>-1</sup>
, whereas the dry season presented an average of 665.67 μmol m
<sup>-2</sup>
s
<sup>-1</sup>
. As a result, the main compounds of non-oxygenated sesquiterpenes and oxygenated sesquiterpenes showed higher or lower amounts depending on the average light intensity and precipitation during early mornings and afternoons.</p>
<p>Previous studies reported that weather parameters, such as atmospheric temperature and rainfall, influence the oil content and composition of several aromatic plants [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref035" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
]. In agreement with those results, our study demonstrates that the essential oil composition of
<italic>C</italic>
.
<italic>langsdorffii</italic>
was affected by environmental factors, such as rainfall and light intensity. In addition, a decrease in the average temperature observed during the dry season could also alter the pattern of sesquiterpene production.</p>
<p>In
<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone.0149332.t001">Table 1</xref>
, the ratio of non-oxygenated sesquiterpenes versus oxygenated sesquiterpenes showed an inversion during the dry season at the end the day (1.69). A ratio of non-oxygenated sesquiterpenes/oxygenated sesquiterpenes higher than 1.0 reports an elevated level of non-oxygenated sesquiterpenes observed at 5:00 pm during the dry season. It have been suggested by others studies [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
] that variations in the terpene levels throughout the day constitute evidence of the up and down regulations of a specialized metabolism influenced by environmental factors.</p>
<p>The non-oxygenated sesquiterpenes, i.e., germacrene D, β-caryophyllene and bicyclogermacrene, showed a higher trend during the early harvesting of leaves and decreased thereafter in the wet season. Therefore, during the dry season, those compounds presented a higher trend at 5:00 pm (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone.0149332.t001">Table 1</xref>
). The oxygenated sesquiterpenes, i.e., spathulenol and caryophyllene oxide compounds, showed a higher trend at 5:00 pm during the wet season and at the early morning harvest during the dry season. α-Cadinol showed a higher tendency at 6:00 am and opposite trend after that time during the dry season (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone.0149332.t001">Table 1</xref>
). In the present study, the non-oxygenated sesquiterpenes decreased in the late harvest during wet season; however, a reverse trend was observed during dry season.</p>
<p>The most important environmental abiotic factors that influence plant growth and development are water availability and temperature [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
], as well as light also can contribute on modifying plant metabolism [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref036" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref038" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>
]. According with literature, 20% of sesquiterpene emissions are impacted by temperature and 80% by temperature and light together [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref040" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>
].
<italic>Lippia origanoides</italic>
Kunth showed higher oxygenated sesquiterpenes levels during wet season and a predominance of oxygenated monoterpenes and monoterpenes hydrocarbons during dry season [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref041" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>
].</p>
<p>Based upon observation, our results show that multiple environmental factors change the specialized metabolism on plants, resulting in production of different terpenes. This suggests that chemical profile showed on this study is result of accumulating environmental signals on leaves such as water availability variation, the raising of light hours during the day and temperature. Furthermore, it should be noted that signaling of the environment in plant metabolism can be seen in our results, mostly by the inversion of the ratio of non-oxygenated sesquiterpene and oxygenated sesquiterpenes at the end of dry days.</p>
<p>The quality of the essential oils of
<italic>C</italic>
.
<italic>langsdorffii</italic>
was affected by the time of the day and seasonal variations. For instance, the two major compounds, i.e., germacrene D and spathulenol, showed opposite results according to seasonal and diurnal variations. Germacrene D (non-oxygenated sesquiterpene) showed an increasing tendency during the early mornings of the wet season as well as during the dry season at 5:00 pm (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone.0149332.t001">Table 1</xref>
). In contrast, spathulenol (oxygenated sesquiterpene) presented an increasing trend during the dry season at 6:00 am and during the wet season at 5:00 pm (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone.0149332.t001">Table 1</xref>
). This result suggests that the light intensity and water availability can influence sesquiterpene biosynthesis and production. Moreover, this variation in the chemical profile of essential oils can alter their medicinal activity because essential oils offer a complex mixture of substances and, generally, the major compounds are the ones responsible for their biological properties [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
].</p>

<sec id="sec009">
<title>Multivariate analysis of major compounds</title>
<p>We applied a principal component analysis (PCA) to assess the composition of the essential oils from

<italic>langsdorffii</italic>
and to identify a possible correlation between the main compounds and the seasonal and diurnal variations (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0149332.g001">Fig 1</xref>
). The principal factorial plane accounts for 93.68% of all major compounds. In addition, the PC1 axis (73.69%) shows that the non-oxygenated sesquiterpenes (germacrene D, bicyclogermacrene and β-caryophyllene) were positively correlated with the afternoon (5:00 pm) harvest of the dry season. The oxygenated sesquiterpenes (spathulenol and caryophyllene oxide) were correlated with both harvests (6:00 am and 5:00 pm) of the wet season. In contrast, α-Cadinol was the only compound that was not correlated with seasons and harvesting periods.</p>

]. The peak emissions of isoprene occurred during mid-afternoon hours. Instead, the α-pinene-to-β-pinene ratio were high during early morning and late afternoon [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref044" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>

Decne. ex Boiss. [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>

<italic>trans</italic>
-caryophyllene [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref045" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>
]. Sesquiterpenes had the highest levels at 6:00 pm in August, and the main compound of the essential oils from leaves of
<italic>Cistus monspeliensis</italic>
L. was caryophyllene oxide [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref046" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>
]. The highest levels of carvacrol in the essential oils of
<italic>Origanum onites</italic>
L. occurred at 10:00 am and the lowest at 06:00 am [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref047" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>
]. The authors reported that the thymol content was higher at 12:00 am (23.76%) and lower at 08:00 pm. These authors also showed a biosynthetic correlation between thymol and carvacrol based on the dynamic levels of these compounds. In the present study, germacrene D, β-caryophyllene and bicyclogermacrene were upregulated during the dry season and downregulated during the wet season. In addition, spathulenol and caryophyllene oxide were upregulated during the wet season and downregulated during the dry season. Therefore, we now have a better understanding of the metabolic adjustments during injuries are regulated by the environmental status. Furthermore, it is necessary to understand the association between the sesquiterpene metabolism and the effects of these compounds on the plants.</p>
<p>Additionally, we believe that the leaf protection against herbivory and pathogens occurs as a physiological response against biotic stresses. For instance,
<italic>C</italic>
.
<italic>langsdorffii</italic>
maintains part of its leaves during stressful events, and it is classified as a perennial species [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
]. Hussain et al. found in
<italic>Ocimum basilicum</italic>
L. a seasonal trend in the oxygenated and non-oxygenated sesquiterpene production [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]. These authors observed high amounts of oxygenated sesquiterpenes during winter and a minimal production of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and, an opposite trend, during the summer. According to our results, we believe that stressful events, such as water scarcity, increase the production of non-oxygenated sesquiterpenes. Therefore, these compounds display important medicinal properties, as reported by [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref048" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>
], who showed the antimicrobial activity of germacrene D present in the essential oil of
<italic>Ageratum fastigiatum</italic>
(Gardner) R.M. King & H. Rob. Similarly, the essential oils from
<italic>Murraya koenigii</italic>
(L.) Spreng. showed antibacterial effects due to the presence of β-caryophyllene [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref049" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>
]; in addition, the essential oils of
<italic>Callicarpa japonica</italic>
Thunb. were found to exert phytotoxic effects due to the presence of bicyclogermacrene and germacrene D [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref050" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>
]. Furthermore, oxygenated sesquiterpenes also displays biological properties, for instance, spathulenol found in essential oils of
<italic>Nepeta glomerata</italic>
Montbret et Aucher ex Bentham that showed cytotoxic and antibacterial activities [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref051" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>

<italic>Achillea cretica</italic>
essential oil responsible for antimicrobial activity [
<xref rid="pone.0149332.ref052" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>
