Introduction into the cryogenic collection of medicinal plant seeds allows maintaining their viability for a long time. However, there are no universal protocols for freezing seeds of plants; so for each species, the freezing and defrosting conditions need to be selected individually. The purpose of the present studies is to determine the main conditions for cryopreservation of the seeds of the medicinal plant Verbascum officinalis. During the development of the cryopreservation condition, optimal freezing containers, defrosting temperature, pre-freezing humidity of seeds and optimal cryoprotectors were selected. The results of the studies showed that the maximum germination rates of seeds and germination energy were obtained using plastic containers, seeds humidity of 3 %, defrosting in a water bath. The optimal cryoprotector is DMSO in concentration 5 %. The results made it possible to introduce Verbascum officinalis into the cryogenic collection of seeds of medicinal plants.

AbstractStudies of medicinal plants have been conducted in many municipalities and regions in Bulgaria, but only species diversity has been studied. Data from ethnobotanical studies in Bulgaria are scarce. The conducted ethno-botanical study of medicinal plants on the territory of Balchik municipality is performed for the first time. As a result, we found that the population of the municipality uses a small part of the medicinal plants: 89 species out of a total of 845 medicinal plants in Bulgaria. Medicinal plants are used mainly for side applications (71%) and to a lesser extent for medicinal purposes (29%). Urban and rural populations use almost the same number of medicinal plants. There are significant differences in the number of plants used by different ethnic groups, age groups and groups with different levels of education. Women use more medicinal plants in human medicine, and in applications for other purposes, more plants are used by men. Most medicinal plants are used by people of active age. The people of Balchik Municipality use for various purposes mostly cultivated medicinal plants, rather than wild and mostly alien species, than native ones. The majority of respondents (78%) do not use medicinal plant substitutes. Most of the people (92.5%) are not aware of the shortcomings of the medicinal plants or the possible side effects of their use.

Medical Plants

The indigenous knowledge of the Basotho makes it simple for this speech community to name their traditional medicinal plants in such a way that they are meaningful; this could also be viewed as an empowerment technique, especially in the economic sphere. Their medicinal plants names seem to be idiomatic and to express certain philosophies of the Basotho society. Creativity is observable in this kind of naming, and many names allude to the kind of remedy that is associated with the medicinal plant. It is therefore the interest of this paper to consider the names of medical plants among the Basotho whose names allude to the remedy they provide. The names of Sesotho medicinal plants and the reasoning of the Basotho in general behind the name and the use of each medicinal plant will be discussed in this article. This paper will further preserve and promote the use of Basotho traditional medicines for the future generation.
