Abstract

SOME ASPECTS OF CURRENT AND FUTURE RESEARCH OF MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC PLANTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA 

The paper reveals a comparative synthesis of the researches carried out in the field of medicinal and aromatic plants. It is analysed the importance of correlating the phenotypic, biochemical and molecular studies for new breeding programs of various forms of medicinal and aromatic plants with economic valuable characters. On the example of the Origanum genus, it concludes about the effectiveness of genetic fingerprinting techniques to identify new subspecies and chemotypes. 

Keywords: medicinal and aromatic plants, genetic diversity, Origanum vulgare L., phytochemical features, molecular markers.
