Short description of project |
The main objectives of the project are to make an inventory of, and to survey native populations of wild oregano (Origanum vulgare L.), to characterize their genetic and chemical variability, and to find out the distribution pattern of taxonomicaIIy defined populations in European countries. The data on characterization of plant material will be documented and will be available for exchange between all partners. This project aims at providing preliminary results and the background information for the establishment of future regional coIIection(s) (according to the AEGIS concept) of Origanum vulgare L. in Europe. |
Short description of the task performed by Croatian partner |
Inventory and mapping of Origanum vulgare L. native populations are planned to be made in all project memher countries. Genetic characterization of populations by microsatellites (Novak et al. 2008)1 and chemical analyses (20 samples per population, 3 populations per country, i.e. 60 samples per partner country) are planned to he made in one member country (Austria). |
