3rd Conference on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of Southeast European Countries
PREFACE

Dear members of AMAPSEEC and other participants of this conference,

let me welcome you in the heart of Europe, Slovakia, in an old (but in the same time young) Nitra
town, the town of universities. I speak to you from the position of the Rector of the only agricultural
university in Slovakia, which has educated more than 30 thousand professionals. Today, more than 10
thousand students of all study forms are studying at our University. The Slovak University of
Agriculture belongs to the universities, which are largely engaged in the grant and research projects,
meeting the European research area requirements. The results of the research projects are presented by
the researchers at congresses and conferences all around the world. Today we are happy to host the
specialists in the field of medicinal, aromatic and spicy plants not only from the whole Europe but
from other continents, too. Slovakia has a long-established tradition and considerable experience of
growing and processing medicinal, aromatic and spicy plants. The growing sites and processing
capacities are nowadays even increasing. Whereas in the year 1989 these special plants were grown on
the area of 408.3 ha, in the year 2003 it was 1,316 ha, and the prognosis for the year 2010 is 2,500 ha.
Support for growing medicinal, aromatic and spicy plants is declared by the Ministry of Agriculture of
the SR in ‘The Development Programme of Medicinal, Aromatic and Spicy Plants Cultivation and
Processing in the Slovak Republic‘, that was developed in the year 2000 with the development
prognosis up to the year 2010.

Growing medicinal, aromatic and spicy plants, their exploitation in pharmaceutical, food,
cosmetic, and other types of processing industry belong to the most significantly developing fields in
highly developed European countries, as well as on a world scale, that generates lively interest in
natural products. Up-to-date scientific and specialist knowledge presented at this conference will no
doubt contribute to its enlarging, that will help facilitate the progress of this field in future.

The Slovak University of Agriculture hosts the third European conference yet, and I believe,
that our Congress Centre will create favourable conditions not only for evaluation of the AMAPSEEC
activities but also for the exchange of scientific and specialist knowledge of medicinal, aromatic and
spicy plants. In addition to the official scientific part of the conference, social programme is prepared
to show you the beautiful historical sites of the town Nitra and its surroundings.

3rd Conference on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of Southeast European Countries
FOREWORD

Dear Colleagues,

Since official launching of idea for keeping regularly regional conferences on medicinal and
aromatic plants of Southeast European countries in 1998, two such conferences were successfully
organised. These meetings were imagined as wide profiled international (regional) scientific and
professional meeting, open for all those working in the field of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs).
The first conference was held in the year 2000 in Aran đelovac (FR Yugoslavia) and the second one in
Chalkidiki (Greece) two years latter. According to the number and quality of presented contributions,
these conferences were very successful. For the 1st Conference 331 author from 16 countries prepared
170 contributions, whose abstracts were published in the book of abstracts from that meeting. For the
second one, 468 authors from 26 countries prepared 204 such contributions. Main and additional
programs at these meetings surely fulfilled expectations of the majority of participants, fully approving
purpose of keeping such conferences. Subsequently, expected profile of the 3 rd Conference should be
very similar to that of those previous.

Leadership in the organisation of the 3 rd Conference on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of
Southeast European Countries (3 rd CMAPSEEC) has been given with trust to our colleagues and
members from Slovakia, Dr. Miroslav Haban and Dr. Ivan Šalamon. Their nomination of the Slovak
University of Agriculture (SUA, Nitra) for the host of the 3 rd Conference was fully accepted and
approved by all relevant managing bodies of the Association for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of
Southeast European Countries (AMAPSEEC). Now, after two years of preparation, there is no doubt
that the 3rd Conference will at least maintain, or even improve, scientific and professional level
achieved in previous ones. Thanks to the great effort of our host to provide best conditions for the
keeping of the 3rd CMAPSEEC, we are now in position to fulfil our obligations in calm cheerfulness.
For all those, which will come here in Nitra, in the heart of the Europe, 3 rd Conference would be an
extraordinary opportunity to exchange and enrich their experience in the field of medicinal and
aromatic plants (MAPs), to refresh existing and establish new contacts.

At the 3 rd Conference, which is the official meeting of the AMAPSEEC, one session will be
reserved for keeping the 4 th Members meeting of the Association, which could be highly important,
even detrimental for its further destiny. At that meeting report about activities of the AMAPSEEC,
Executive Council and Board of Directors in the period between the third and the forth Member's
meeting will be given, as well as report on the membership and available funds of the Association.
Moreover, decision about the host of the 4 th CMAPSEEC will be made. Simultaneously, at the 4 th
Members meeting, election of new managing bodies of the AMAPSEEC, as well as selection of new
location for the AMAPSEEC's headquarter should be accomplished too.

AMAPSEEC is extremely thankful to all those, which made possible keeping of the 3 rd
Conference on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of Southeast European Countries. First of all to our
host, Prof. Dr. Ing. Imrich Okenka, rector of the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, Dr.
Miroslav Habán and Dr. Ivan Šalamon, who leaded whole organisation, as well as to sponsors and all
others being involved in the organisation of the conference.

Knowing that distant goals of the AMAPSEEC could be reached only through effective and
long-lasting co-operation, between all those engaged in MAP problems from many different aspects,
the 3rd Conference will surely make an additional momentum in that sense.

Mihailo Ristić MSc.
President of the AMAPSEEC

HARMONY AND CONTRADICTIONS IN ECOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL
OPTIMUM OF MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC PLANTS

The regional specialisation in Hungary according to production of medicinal and aromatic plants
is known from the beginnings of the 20 th century. As a result of spontaneous process seven well-
defined production areas were developed. The relationship between regions, their climatic conditions
and spectrum of species produced there are compared (1).
Ecological requirements of 97 collected and 55 cultivated medicinal and aromatic plants are
characterised. Based on the analysis of `T` (temperature regime values) about 63 per cent of cultivated
species came from Sub-Mediterranean and Mediterranean type of habitat, originally, while the
majority of collected plants (61,8 per cent of them) prefer the deciduous forest conditions. The
differences between collected and cultivated species are appreciable too, if the distributions of their
characteristic water regime (`W` values) are compared. The majority of cultivated species require dry
(moderate dry) and fresh (moderate fresh) habitats, while the amplitude of water requirement of
collected species is much more wide-ranging.
However, the examples of many species including camomile (Matricaria recutita), valley lily
(Convalaria majalis) etc. prove there are large differences between the condition of original growing
site and the real physiological requirements of the species (2). If we want to optimise the collection
practice or the cultivation technology (3) we have to analyse the effect of individual environmental
factors on both biomass and active agent production (4).

Key words: regional specialisation, physiological and ecological requirements, active agents

The plant ecobiology studies the biological and ecological properties of species in connection
with their life strategies. The life strategy of all plant species is a system of co-evolutionary linked
adaptable features ensuring the plants to exist in certain environmental conditions and to occupy
position in biocenoses.
In regard to the research, development and production of each medicinal and aromatic plant species its
ecobiology has a significant importance. The presentation and deep study in the fields: taxonomy,
nomenclature, ecophytogeography, ecophytocenology, ecomorphology, ecophysiology, bioperiodicity,
