PRESENTED PAPERS 113 Future strategies The institutions specializing in breeding and processing of MAPs propose a number of measures for the near future, such as: - Sustainable exploitation of wild medicinal plants; improvement of research through breeding and cultivation of new species; - increase in the area cultivated with MAPs by the private sector through higher prices of dry products collected by the processing enterprises; - use of advanced technology for raw material processing and of essential quantitative indices for the major medicinal plants cultivated in Romania.

114 WORKING GROUP ON MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC PLANTS: FIRST MEETING Conservation of medicinal and aromatic plant genetic resources in Slovenia Dea Baričevič 1 , Alenka Zupančič 1 , Anita Železnik-Kušar 1 and Janko Rode 2 1 University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty, Ljubljana, Slovenia 2 Institute for Hop Research and Brewing, Žalec, Slovenia Introduction In 1996, the Slovenian Fund for nature conservation ratified the Resolution on conservation of biological diversity and permanent landscape development, including medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs). In order to ensure genepools for future investigations, the genebank, a national genebank collection of medicinal and aromatic plants containing 650 indigenous or foreign/introduced MAP accessions, was established in 1994, officially recognized in 1995 and is annually supported by the Slovenian government. The programme on MAP conservation in Slovenia involves activities at different conservation levels (ex situ, in situ and on-farm) as well as morphological and chemical evaluation of MAP accessions held in the MAP genebank (Salvia officinalis L., Origanum vulgare L., Gentiana lutea L., Thymus vulgaris L., etc.) (Baričevič 1997a, 1997b; Baričevič et al. 1997; Rode et al. 1998). Ex situ conservation and evaluation Maintenance of germplasm as seed, in vitro and in vivo collections and seed propagation for cultivation purposes (Cynara scolymus L., Gentiana lutea L., Salvia officinalis L., Origanum vulgare L., Trigonella foenum-graecum L., Melissa officinalis L., Hyssopus officinalis L., Thymus vulgaris L., Satureja montana L.) are the main activities of the Slovenian MAP genebank. Because of the high morphological and chemical variability in MAPs, in vitro culture techniques have been applied for practical purposes, so the screening for optimal in vitro conditions (considering multiplication rate, morphological uniformity and low-cost input) has been considered. The micropropagation of MAPs has been recognized as an essential tool in obtaining uniform descendants in cross-pollinating species, in species with poor or slow germination as well as in virus-infected plant material. The evaluation of MAP accessions, which regularly accompanies the routine maintenance work, can be divided into three research categories: - Evaluation of morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of MAPs (Origanum vulgare L. subsp. vulgare, Origanum L. subsp. vulgare hirtum, Gentiana lutea L. subsp. symphyandra) (Zupančič and Baričevič 2002); - Evaluation of MAP ecotypes for quantitative and qualitative differences in secondary metabolites with regard to growth and development and/or biological activity (Filipič and Baričevič 1997, 1998; Bolta et al. 2000; Baričevič et al. 2001a, 2001b; Zupančič et al. 2001; Zupančič and Baričevič 2002); - Evaluation of susceptibility of descendants to environmental stress (drought, low temperature, depleted soils, etc.) in pot trials in a controlled environment (Baričevič 1995; Baričevič et al. 1999; Železnik et al. 2002; Železnik and Baričevič 2002). In situ conservation Slovene botanists have made an inventory of the Slovenian flora (not exclusively MAPs) throughout the last decade. The inventory is intended to provide the basis for conservation of the remaining natural resources of rare and/or endangered species. The result of this intensive research was "The Red Data List of Threatened Vascular Plants in Slovenia" (Wraber and Skoberne 1989) upheld by the Institute for the Conservation of Natural and Cultural Heritage of Slovenia.
