History

In 1990, the Medicinal and Medicinal Plants National Research Project was initiated under the coordination of the Aegean Agricultural Research Institute in order to solve the problems encountered in the cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants, to consider the research as a whole, to ensure the organization of those who carry out these studies, and to ensure coordination among the working people and institutions. In the beginning, first of all; Economically important plants such as anise, mint, oregano, sage and caper were discussed. Then, important medicinal and aromatic plants in our country's flora were cultured and used in breeding studies. As a result of these studies, different types of cultivars were registered. Efforts are underway to develop different types as an alternative to the existing production pattern, which has been going on for many years by the producers, which will contribute to the economy of the region and the country.​

Research Activities

Anise (Pimpinella anisum): Anise, which is used in medicine, industry and as a spring horse, is produced in the ecological conditions of the Aegean and Mediterranean Regions, such as Burdur, Denizli and Antalya, where the flowering time is dry and cold. At the end of the studies carried out, the Gölhisar variety was developed and registered. Breeding studies have been started with anise populations from domestic and foreign sources, and a new variety will be registered at the end of this study.​
​

Caper (Capparis spinosa): In connection with the results of research studies, production techniques from seed have been developed for capers collected from nature and marketed. The information produced by the trials and demonstrations carried out under farmer conditions and in-service training studies was transferred to the farmer.

Turkish Oregano (Origanum onites): A breeding study based on selection was initiated with populations collected from different locations. As a result of this study, the development of cultivars with high spice yield and essential oil content was completed and 1 cultivar suitable for seed production was registered. Agronomy and quality studies are continuing in different Origanum species.​

Common Sage (Salvia officinalis): Studies have been started on medicinal sage with introduction materials brought from abroad, and the variety has been registered with a breeding study based on selection carried out within the current population.

Anatolian Sage (Salvia fruticosa): As a result of selection breeding carried out in natural populations distributed in the Aegean and Mediterranean regions, a registered variety with high yield and quality characteristics has been developed.​

​Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis): The variety was registered with the breeding study based on selection carried out in populations brought from abroad and collected from nature.​

Mint (Mentha spp.): Mint genotypes were kept in a collection garden created in ETAE and their agronomic characteristics were determined by characterization study. The results showed that it is possible to select high yielding clones for spice and menthol production from this collection.​​

Mountain Tea (Sideritis perfoliata): As a result of the studies carried out with different Sideritis species, the variety has been registered with the selection breeding in Sideritis perfoliata, which has outstanding agricultural yield values.

Salep (Orchis sancta L. and Serapias vomeraceae): As a result of the study, Orchis sancta L. and Serapias vomeraceae (Burm. fill.) Brig. By evaluating the information obtained, a cultivation technique that farmers can easily apply has been put forward. Various registration studies for these two types are ongoing.

Laurel (Laurus nobilis L.): Losses in laurel production areas, especially in the Aegean Region, have revealed the need to study and cultivate this species in the region. It has been shown that laurel can be grown economically under field conditions. As a result of the collections made from the areas where the laurel is distributed in our country, selection-based breeding has been started and as a result of the study, the laurel variety will be registered.

Dye Plants: Studies have started on the cultivation of dye plants. As a result of these studies, the production techniques of dye plants were determined and the necessary production materials were provided. Studies on root dye and indigo cultivation techniques and dyeing are continuing.

Golden Thistle​ (Scolymus hispanicus): The variety has been registered in line with the selection breeding. Training and extension activities continue in order to popularize the use of this plant by the farmers of the region.

Echinacea (Echinacea spp.): Two species were studied to determine the agricultural characteristics of echinacea, which is one of the most widely used herbal drugs in the world, under the conditions of our region. As a result of selection in E. purpurea, a variety suitable for the region was registered.

Rosehip (Rosa canina): Rosehip variety with large fruit, high vitamin C and thornless rosehip has been registered by selection breeding from rosehip populations collected from Aegean and Marmara Regions.

Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra): Selection breeding was initiated by identifying trees with high anthocyanin content and fruit yield among the fruit samples collected from black elderberry populations in the Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea Regions. As a result of the study, high quality black elderberry variety will be registered.​

Education Extension Studies

In addition to research studies and production activities, studies are carried out in order to transfer the varieties that are cultivated and developed as a result of breeding studies to the producer. For this purpose, farmer brochures and slide sets were prepared, and extension staff were informed about the project results and new products through in-service training activities. Within the scope of the Aegean Region Research Extension Farmer Vineyard Strengthening Project, information and materials are shared primarily with the provincial-district directorates of agriculture in the provinces within the area of responsibility, and then throughout our country. In this way, it is ensured that our new varieties are placed in possible production areas. As a result of the studies carried out to date, it has been ensured that plants such as thyme, sage, echinacea, mountain tea, laurel, black elderberry, marjoram, which were not produced before, are included in the production areas.

Production Activities

The biggest problem of our country in medicinal and aromatic plants is the scarcity of registered varieties and the problems experienced in reaching the production material. In order to solve these problems, first of all, cultivar development and registration studies were completed. Later, seed production plots were created in order to ensure sustainable production in the production materials of these registered varieties. On the other hand, in order to produce healthy seedlings true to its name, climate-controlled seedling production greenhouses have been established and seedling production has begun. Thus, we have reached the point where we can meet the seed and seedling needs of our producers throughout the country. On the other hand, in salep, which is reproduced as tubers, a breeding tuber plot was created and healthy and pure tubers were supplied to our producer. In addition, different products in the form of herbal teas, spices, essential oils, maceration oils, cold-pressed oils and food are produced and offered to our people.
