Introduction & Aim: Plant growth regulators (PGR) have same effect as natural plant's hormones and can change the main components in plant samples. Chaerophyllum aureum L. is related to Apiaceae family.Experimental: In this paper the qualitative and quantitative composition of the volatile oils of Chaerophyllum aureum L. were reported after using different concentrations of IAA and NAA on aerial parts of the plant at flowering time. The essence was recovered by using hydro-distillation with a Clevenger type apparatus and investigated by GC and GC/MS.Results & Discussion: The main components in the control sample are: α-pinene (14.1%), β-pinene (11.2%), camphene (7.3%), verbenone (2.3%), limonene (14.4%), and trans-verbenol (3.7%). The results indicated that IAA will result in the percentage increase of germacrene-D and, of α-humulene (about 4%) and, decrease of α-pinene and β-pinene. NAA will result in the production of β-bisabolene (2.5%), the increment of α-cadinol about 2 times, the diminution of camphene (less than half) and of α-pinene and β-pinene too.
