MYCOPOPULATION OF MEDICINAL PLANTS IN CROATIA

Sustavnog istraživanja mikoflore ljekovitoga bilja u našoj zemlji do sada nije bilo. U ovome radu iznosimo rezultate preliminarnih istraživanja mikopopulacije 14 vrsta ljekovitih biljaka. Ukupno je pregledano 393 biljna dijela, s kojih je izolirano 10 rodova gljiva: Penicillium, Aspergillus, Sordaria, Phoma, Cladosporium, Rhizopus, Stemphillium, Fusarium, Phomopsis i jedan nedeterminirani rod. S najvećeg broja uzoraka izoliran je Penicillium sp. (s 11 od 14 biljnih vrsta). Na biljkama s kojih su izolirane gljive nisu utvrđeni makroskopski vidljivi simptomi zaraze, osim biljnih dijelova Lavandula x intermedia, s koje su izolirani Phomopsis sp. i Fusarium sp. i Foeniculum vulgare, s kojega je izoliran Phomopsis sp.There has not been a systematic research of medicinal plants mycoflora in Croatia. This paper aims to present the results of preliminary research of mycopopulation of 14 species of medicinal plants. Total of 393 plant parts has been examined and 10 genera of fungi were isolated: Penicillium, Aspergillus, Sordaria, Phoma, Cladosporium, Rhizopus, Stemphillium, Fusarium, Phomopsis and one unidentified genus. Penicillium sp. (from 11 of 14 plant species) was isolated from the majority of samples. The plants fungi were isolated from did not show any macroscopically visible symptoms of infection, except plant parts of Lavandula x intermedia and Foeniculum vulgare, from which Phomopsis sp. and Fusarium sp. were isolated
