Knoll (Slovakia) - 4 - 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. Prof. Dr. Ing. Imrich Okenka, PhD. Rector of the Slovak University of Agriculture - 5 - 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 Aranđelovac (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 3rd Conference should be very similar to that of those previous. Leadership in the organisation of the 3rd Conference on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of Southeast European Countries (3rd 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 3rd 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, 3rd 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 3rd Conference, which is the official meeting of the AMAPSEEC, one session will be reserved for keeping the 4th 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 4th CMAPSEEC will be made. Simultaneously, at the 4th 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 3rd Conference on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of Southeast European Countries. First of all to our host, Prof. Dr.

In the past few decades, however, these mangrove forests have been largely degraded and destroyed during the process of development. The negative environmental and socio-economic impacts on mangrove ecosystems have led many government and non- government agencies, together with civil societies, to launch mangrove conservation and rehabilitation programmes, especially during the 1990s. In the course of such activities, programme staff have faced continual difficulties in identifying plant species growing in the field. Despite a wide availability of mangrove guidebooks in Southeast Asia, none of these sufficiently cover species that, though often associated with mangroves, are not confined to this habitat.

  • Pharmacological Profile of Mangrove Endophytes - a Review
    Innovare International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Academic Sciences ISSN- 0975-1491 Vol 7, Issue 1, 2015 Review Article PHARMACOLOGICAL PROFILE OF MANGROVE ENDOPHYTES - A REVIEW SALINI G Amrita School of Biotechnology, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri, Kollam 690525, Kerala, India. Email: [email protected] Received: 25 Oct 2014 Revised and Accepted: 23 Nov 2014 ABSTRACT Natural products play a key role in meeting the global demand for new pharmacologically active substances. Since marine and coastal environments possess considerable biological diversity having added reasons to produce secondary metabolites, they are looked upon as potential candidates for drug discovery. Mangroves inhabit the transition zone between land and sea; therefore it is assumed that they would produce outstanding natural products on their own. The unique environment of mangrove forests harbors diverse groups of microorganisms, including the endophytes. Endophytes, which live asymptomatically within living plant tissues, are an under explored group of microorganisms and hence studies on these microbes from unique ecosystems offer resources with immense biotechnological potential. This article attempts to give an insightful review on the efforts currently being made to explore the bioactive compounds produced by mangrove endophytes. Keywords: Endophyte, Mangrove, Secondary metabolite, Bioactive compound. INTRODUCTION protection mechanism of the endophytes is exerted directly by releasing metabolites to attack any antagonists, or indirectly by Natural products, generally secondary metabolites produced by inducing host defense mechanisms[1]. Endophytes can also promote living organisms, present an alternative route to address the ever plant growth through different mechanisms like production of increasing need for new drugs, because of their low production phytohormones[8], synthesis of siderophores[9], nitrogen fixation, costs, novelty and structural diversity.

Thus, a replacement of these synthetics by antioxidant extractions from various foods has been proposed. More than 8000 different phenolic compounds have been characterized; fruits and vegetables are the prime sources of natural antioxidants. In order to extract, measure, and identify bioactive compounds from a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, researchers use multiple techniques and methods. This review includes a brief description of a wide range of different assays. The antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties of phenolic natural products from fruits and vegetables are also discussed. Keywords: antimicrobial; antioxidants; medicinal plants; BHT 1. Introduction Many antioxidant compounds can be found in fruits and vegetables including phenolics, carotenoids, anthocyanins, and tocopherols [1]. Approximately 20% of known plants have been used in pharmaceutical studies, impacting the healthcare system in positive ways such as treating cancer and harmful diseases [2].

    Chapter 7 Thymus Plants: A Review—Micropropagation, Molecular and Antifungal Activity Fernanda Leal, Meriem Taghouti, Fernando FernandaNunes, Amélia Leal, Silva,Meriem Ana Taghouti, Cláudia CoelhoFernando Nunes, Améliaand Manuela Silva, Ana Matos Cláudia Coelho and Manuela Matos Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/66623 Abstract Medicinal and aromatic plants are important sources for plant secondary metabolites. The genetic manipulation of plants associated with in vitro plant regeneration systems facilitates efforts to engineer secondary product metabolic pathways. The fungal infec- tions have been increasing in recent years due to several factors, namely, the increased incidence of high-risk patients, particularly immunocompromised hosts. Aromatic plants have been empirically used as antimicrobial agents, but the mechanisms of action are still unknown. Thyme has a great interest due to the possibility of its use in different applications, in medicine, in the cosmetic industry, or as food additives. Several studies have shown that thyme oils possess antimicrobial activity. Increasingly, plant breeding has taken advantage of molecular biology developments in order to genotype the spe- cies of interest to accelerate their selection. These approaches consist in choosing desired genotypes based on molecular markers or the knowledge of the genes involved in a par- ticular trait. The in vitro culture techniques can be used to multiply plants selected after molecular and antifungal studies. The course of the investigation and the current state in relation to micropropagation, molecular studies, and antifungal action of the Thymus genus plants will be presented.
