International Symposium on Advances in Lamiaceae Science: Abstracts

Abstract

Lamiaceae is an important family encompassing aromatic plants such as mint, oregano, thyme, sage, melissa, lavender, satureja, basil, rosemary, sideritis, perilla, etc. which have been used and traded for their culinary as well as flavour and fragrance properties and biological activities, as well as those used in medicine such as skullcap among others. Two previous symposia on Lamiaceae were held in 1992 in Kew Gardens, London, UK and in 2006 in San Remo, Italy gathering scientists from all over the World to discuss scientific developments in the science of Lamiaceae. This is the third in a row as a follow up to the previous symposia with the same aim to discuss and review recent developments in the field with special emphasis to systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny, phytochemistry, agronomy, horticulture, ethnobotany, biological activities, culinary uses, industrial developments and trade, etc. The symposium is bringing together scientists, growers and traders from all over the World to contribute, discuss, exchange views and learn recent advancements in Lamiaceae science.
