(CEP USM, 2025) Colțun, Maricica; Bogdan, Alina
This article focuses on the study of biomorphological features of Carthamus tinctorius L. under the conditions of the Republic of Moldova. Safflower, plant with multiple uses, is a valuable source of flowers, seeds and oil with phytotherapeutic benefits. It is known worldwide as a medicinal plant with strong sedative properties and high therapeutic potential. The conducted research includes the botanical description of the species, the evaluation of ontogenetic and ecological peculiarities, the establishment of development phases, the identification of optimal propagation methods, the reaction of plants to frost and drought and some aspects of cultivation. Safflower goes through a full development cycle, forming edible fruits and viable seeds. The research conducted brought reliable evidence in favor of the introduction of safflower under the pedoclimatic conditions of Moldova, as a promising oilseed, medicinal, honey, ornamental and food plant to enrich the assortment of useful plants, resistant to arid conditions.

This article presents the results of a study on the species Elsholtzia stauntonii Benth., an aromatic and medicinal plant, introduced and little investigated, but valuable from an economic point of view. The research aimed at the evaluation and characterization of this species from a botanical, phytochemical and agrotechnical point of view, in order to determine the biomorphological features, the composition and content of essential oil, as well as the primary elements of cultivation, respectively. The essential oil has antibacterial, antiviral, astringent, carminative, diuretic and somatic action. Its subtle aroma, is similar to the balsamic smell of lemon, which determines the value of using elsholtzia. It has high potential as an ornamental and melliferous plant. The research highlighted the high adaptive potential and the prospects of cultivation under the new climate and soil conditions, contributing to the widening of the assortment of aromatic and medicinal plants, which could constitute a source of raw material for aromatherapy, perfumery, phytotherapy and gastronomy.
