  1. 9. Assessing Genetic Consequences of Commercial Harvesting in Helichrysum italicum Populations along the Eastern Adriatic Coast
    Dr Tonka Ninčević Runjić (Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation; Centre of Excellence for Biodiversity and Molecular Plant Breeding, Zagreb)
    Cultivation Systems, Breeding, Molecular Approaches and Crop Management
    Oral Presentation

    Background: Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G.Don (Asteraceae) is a Mediterranean aromatic and medicinal species valued for its essential oil, which is widely used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and perfumery sectors. Rising commercial demand during the early 2000s led to intensified harvesting of wild populations, particularly along the eastern Adriatic coast. In combination with ongoing...

  3. 13. Dissecting the genetic control of flowering time and essential oil content of caraway (Carum carvi) using QTL mapping and an annotated draft genome assembly
    Daniel von Maydell
    Cultivation Systems, Breeding, Molecular Approaches and Crop Management
    Oral Presentation

    Background: Flowering time and essential oil content are pivotal traits for caraway breeding, driving both adaptation to climate change and pharmaceutical quality. Understanding the genetic regulation of these traits could aid in efficient breeding. However, genetic studies have been rare in this orphan crop.
    Materials and Methods: Therefore, as a foundational resource, we established an...

  4. 17. Evaluating genetic diversity of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) and establishing molecular tools to accelerate breeding
    Dr Daniel von Maydell
    Cultivation Systems, Breeding, Molecular Approaches and Crop Management
    Poster Presentation

    Background: Many important medicinal and aromatic plants belong to the Lamiaceae family. However, breeding progress has long been hampered by a lack of genetic tools. Currently, the rise of affordable, high-quality sequencing platforms facilitates the development of such resources. Within the project OptiLamia, we aim to establish marker-assisted breeding tools with a focus on terpenoids in...

  6. 12. Tracing Genetic Relationships among Lavandin Landraces from the Island of Hvar, Croatia
    Martina Grdiša (University of Zagreb Faculty of Agriculture, Centre of Excellence for Biodiversity and Molecular Plant Breeding)
    Cultivation Systems, Breeding, Molecular Approaches and Crop Management
    Poster Presentation

    Background: Lavandula x intermedia Emeric ex Loisel, commonly known as lavandin, is a widely cultivated medicinal and aromatic plant belonging to the family Lamiaceae. It is a hybrid of common lavender (L. angustifolia) and spike lavender (L. latifolia). The island of Hvar (Croatia) is known for cultivating two lavandin landraces, ˈBilaˈ and ˈBudrovkaˈ, and for producing their...
