STRUCTURAL ELUCIDATION OF BIOACTIVE PRINCIPLES IN FLORAL EXTRACTS OF GERMAN CHAMOMILLE (MATRICARIA RECUTITA L.)

The Slovak gene pool of German chamomile (Matricaria recutita L.) and comparison in its parameters

Plant habit and production of secondary metabolites in chamomile plants depend on endogenous and exogenous factors that can be divided into two groups (FRANZ 1982): a) morpho-ontogenetic variability, b) genetic variability or genetic determinateness. The activity of these factors is reflected in biomass production, flower drug production, content and composition of essential oil and some other ...
