| Summary: | A moss genus Herzogiella, from the pleurocarpous family Plagiotheciaceae contains only seven species
world wide. It occurs in North, Central and South America, Europe and Asia. In Europe, only three species
occurred, namely H. seligeri, H. striatella and H. turfacea of which, the last one is threatened. With aim to
develop the methodology for protection, conservation and active propagation of H. turfacea, more commonly
distributed counterpart, H. seligeri, were taken from the National Park Fruška Gora and axenically culture
were established. The study gives overview into the problems of sterilization, in vitro establishing,
development, propagation and biology of species, as well as indices applicable to threatened counterpart. |
