薄荷是由日本薄荷（Mentha arvensis）生产的高价值的单萜，作为一种天然产物，广泛应用于化妆品、糖果、香料、饮料和治疗。因此，选择高产薄荷醇的基因型是所有薄荷遗传改良计划的最终目标。在本研究中观察到的薄荷醇含量之间的正相关性，在油的评估基因型和耐受性水平外部提供的薄荷醇的外植体在培养基中的这些基因型。这种关系作为一种选择性生化标记的简单使用，为种质、无性系和育种材料的大规模体外筛选提供了实用性，以选择优良基因型。
Menthol is a highly valued monoterpene produced by Japanese mint (Mentha arvensis) as a natural product with wide applications in cosmetics, confectionery, flavours, beverages and therapeutics. Selection of high menthol yielding genotypes is therefore the ultimate objective of all genetic improvement programmes inMentha arvensis. A positive correlation was observed in the present study between menthol content in oils of evaluated genotypes and the level of tolerance to externally supplied menthol of explants of these genotypes in culture medium. The easy use of this relationship as a selectable biochemical marker opens the practical applicability of largescalein vitroscreening of the germplasm, clones and breeders' material for selection of elite genotypes.
