The yield differed from 1.95 to 2.75 % v/w. The GC-FID-MS analysis of the sage oil revealed 42 constituents. Camphor (20.50-29.74 %), followed by α-thujone (19.87-24.29 %), 1,8-cineole (6.88-12.64 %) and β-thujone (4.00-9.14 %) were predominant constituents in all analyzed populations, representing 55.70-68.00 % of the total components. All of the analyzed sage populations from northern Albania comply with ISO 6571/2008 standard and European Pharmacopeia 7.0. for Dalmatian sage essential oil content, while only four populations met the requirements of the ISO 9909/1997 standard for Dalmatian sage essential oil's composition.

It is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Knowledge of its genetic diversity and spatiotemporal patterns is important for plant breeding programmes and conservation. We used eight microsatellite markers to investigate evolutionary history of indigenous populations as well as genetic diversity and structure within and among indigenous and cultivated/naturalised populations distributed across the Balkan Peninsula. The results showed a clear separation between the indigenous and cultivated/naturalised groups, with the cultivated material originating from one restricted geographical area. Most of the genetic diversity in both groups was attributable to differences among individuals within populations, although spatial genetic analysis of indigenous populations indicated the existence of isolation by distance. Geographical structuring of indigenous populations was found using clustering analysis, with three sub-clusters of indigenous populations. The highest level of gene diversity and the greatest number of private alleles were found in the central part of the eastern Adriatic coast, while decreases in gene diversity and number of private alleles were evident towards the northwestern Adriatic coast and southern and eastern regions of the Balkan Peninsula. The results of Ecological Niche Modelling during Last Glacial Maximum and Approximate Bayesian Computation suggested two plausible evolutionary trajectories: 1) the species survived in the glacial refugium in southern Adriatic coastal region with subsequent colonization events towards northern, eastern and southern Balkan Peninsula; 2) species survived in several refugia exhibiting concurrent divergence into three genetic groups. The insight into genetic diversity and structure also provide the baseline data for conservation of S. officinalis genetic resources valuable for future breeding programmes. plant populations: A case study of Croatian endemic Salvia species (09.01/ 246)".

There are more than 300 species of MAPs in the Albanian flora, which are considered important from a natural resource and economic viewpoint. This paper analyzes the MAPs sector in Albania based on expert interviews and desk research. It provides several insights into the importance of the sector from socioeconomic prospective. It also analyzes the value chain structure, describing various categories of actors in the value chain. The exports, mainly to the EU and US, have increased over the years. However, we can observe a reduced supply of wild plants due to damaged resources and a reduced labor force in mountainous areas. This has been partly compensated by the growing importance of some plants’ cultivation. Despite growth and potential, this sector is facing several challenges. Some of these challenges are related to the production and post-harvest technology and practices on the farm, safety and quality standards and traceability. Addressing these issues should be a priority for policy-makers and private sector actors, in order to improve the sector’s competitiveness and sustainability.ZusammenfassungAlbanien verfügt über reiche natürliche Ressourcen und geeignete Boden- und Klimabedingungen, um wilde sowie angebaute Arznei- und Gewürzpflanzen (AGP) zu sammeln bzw. zu produzieren. Derzeit gibt es mehr als 300 AGP-Arten in der albanischen Flora, die sowohl unter dem Aspekt der natürlichen Ressourcen, als auch unter wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten als wichtig angesehen werden könen. Dieser Artikel analysiert den AGP Sektor in Albanien, basierend auf Experteninterviews und sekundären Forschungsergebnissen. Auch werden Einblicke, auf die Bedeutung des Sektors aus der sozio-ökonomischen Perspektive, dargestellt. Analysiert werden die Wertschöpfungsstruktur, sowie verschiedene Akteure in der Wertschöpfungskette. Die Exporte, vor allem in die EU und die USA, haben sich im Laufe der letzten Jahre erhöht. Jedoch konnten wir eine reduzierte Lieferung von Wildpflanzen durch beschädigte Ressourcen und eine verminderte Erwerbsbevölkerung in den Berggebieten beobachten. Dies wird teilweise, durch die wachsende Bedeutung des Anbaus einiger Pflanzen, ausgeglichen. Trotz Wachstum und Potenzial ist dieser Sektor von mehreren Herausforderungen geprägt, z. B. Produktions-, Nacherntetechnologien und -praktiken in den Betrieben, Sicherheits- und Qualitätsstandards und Rückverfolgbarkeit. Die Auseinandersetzung mit diesen Fragen sollte Priorität für politische Entscheidungsträger und private Akteure haben, um die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Nachhaltigkeit des Sektors zu verbessern.

Medicinal and aromatic plants have a major contribution to the growth of agricultural products in all regions of Albania. National collection of medicinal and aromatic plants is represented by more than 300 species, with the ex situ status of conservation, and in situ and on farm status of conservation. The ex situ seed collections of medicinal and aromatic plants stored in Albanian Gene Bank is represented by 450 accessions, including 17 genus and species. In the last two decades several of medicinal and aromatic plants are affected by the phenomena of genetic erosion, and 68 endangered species were included in the National Red Book List.
