Analysis and identification of chemical composition of the oil were performed by GC and GC/MS. Results & Discussion: The highest amount of oil yield respectively were related to accession TF3 from Semnan (4.2%), and lowest was related to accession TF5 from West Azarbayejan(0.8%). The highest amount of oil production respectively was related to accession TF3 (32/8kg/ha) and lowest was related to TF5 (3kg/ha).
