AB  - Подручје рудничко-таковског краја (Шумадија, Србија) карактерише се присуством великог броја аутохтоних сорти крушака, међу којима су најбројније лончара, караманка, лубеничарка, медунак, илињача, жутица, арапка, такиша, видовача, кисељача, водењача и друге. На овом подручју крушка се користи у исхрани (као свеж плод) и преради у бројне производе: сушени плод, сок, компот, џем, као воћна туршија, за прављење колача и ракије крушковаче. Осим у исхрани, забележена је употреба плодова, коре стабла и листова крушке и у етномедицини.
Етноботаничко истраживање на подручју рудничко-таковског краја спроведено је на 52 локалитета/села на територији општине Горњи Милановац. Методом отвореног и полу-структурираног интервјуа обављени су разговори са 192 испитаника (127 мушкараца и 65 жена).
Резултати истраживања су показали да се крушка користи против констипације (свеж или сушен плод крушке; 10,9% испитаника), за регулацију хипертензије (плод, сок или компот; 14,0% испитаника); као уроантисептик (чај или тинктура коре стабла; 21,8% испитаника); у третману екскреције камена из бубрега (чај или тинктура листа; 18,7% испитаника); за смањење телесне масе (плод, сок или компот у исхрани; 11,9% испитаника) и као хипоалергена храна за исхрану беба (пасирани свежи плод; 8,3% испитаника).
Резултати овог истраживања могу значајно да допринесу очувању диверзитета аутохтоних сорти крушке, али и да укажу на практичан значај употребе проучаваних сорти у лековите и комерцијалне срхе. Индиректно, допринос ових истраживања је у проширењу традиционалних етноботаничких и етномедицинских знања на западном Балкану.
AB  - The area of the Rudnik-Takovo region region (Šumadija, Serbia) is characterized by the presence of a large number of autochthonous pear varieties, among which the most numerous are “lončara”, “karamanka”, “lubeničarka”, “medunak”, “ilinjača”, “žutica”, “arapka”, “takiša”, “vidovača”, “kiseljača”, “vodenjača” and others. In this area, pear is used in food (as a fresh fruit) and processed into numerous products: dried fruit, juice, compote, jam, as a fruit pickle, for making cakes and pear brandy. In addition to nutrition, the use of pear fruits, tree bark and leaves has also been recorded in ethnomedicine.
Ethnobotanical research in the area of the Rudnik-Takovo region was conducted in 52 localities/villages in the the municipality of Gornji Milanovac. Open and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 192 respondents (127 men and 65 women).
The research results showed that pear is used against constipation (fresh or dried pear fruit; 10.9% of respondents), to regulate hypertension (fruit, juice or compote; 14.0% of respondents); as a uroantiseptic (tea or tree bark tincture; 21.8% of respondents); in the treatment of kidney stone excretion (tea or leaf tincture; 18.7% of respondents); for reducing body weight (fruit, juice or compote in the diet; 11.9% of respondents) and as hypoallergenic food for baby nutrition (mashed fresh fruit; 8.3% of respondents).
The results of this research can significantly contribute to the preservation of the diversity of autochthonous pear varieties, but also indicate the practical importance of using the studied varieties for medicinal and commercial purposes. Indirectly, the contribution of these researches is in the expansion of traditional ethnobotanical and ethnomedical knowledge in the Western Balkans.

AB  - Species of the genus Teucrium are widely distributed, mainly in the sandy and rocky
areas of the Mediterranean, Europe, North Africa and in temperate parts of Asia, especially
southwestern Asia. Three which stand out for their medicinal properties, as confirmed by their
use in traditional phytotherapy worldwide, are Teucrium chamaedrys (wall germander), T.
montanum (mountain germander) and T. polium (felty germander).
Out of the 55 ethnobotanical studies analysed, T. chamaedrys was mentioned in 34, T.
polium in 23, and T. montanum in 11. T. chamaedrys and T. polium are used most often by the
people of Asia Minor and the western Balkans, while T. montanum is most popular in the latter
region. Their aerial parts are used most frequently to prepare infusions or decoctions, which are
mostly taken internally (84,2%), while external application is rarer (9,2%).
Ethnobotanical research showed these species are most commonly used to treat
gastrointestinal problems (indigestion, gastric pain, diarrhoea, jaundice, cirrhosis, as painkillers
and for biliary tract purification), problems involving heart and blood vessel functioning
(haemorrhoids, hypertension, anaemia, and blood purification), and respiratory problems (colds,
flu, fevers, tuberculosis, lung cancer and as a febrifuge); they are also valued as a treatment for
diabetes. In Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, T. montanum is one of the most popular plants
in traditional medicine, which, according to locals’ beliefs, ‘heals every disease’.
However, despite the obvious, pronounced favourable impact on human wellbeing, there
have been reported incidents of infusions or decoctions of the Teucrium species investigated
having a detrimental effect on people’s health, particularly causing hepatitis. Therefore, to avoid
this, the overall health of the patient, the dosage and treatment duration must be considered.
Hence, further research into T. chamaedrys, T. polium and T. montanum should be undertaken,
focussing on the pharmacological aspect, so as to eliminate or minimise any potential side
effects.
AB  - Врсте рода Teucrium су широко распрострањене, углавном у песковитим и
стеновитим областима Медитерана, Европе, Северне Африке и у умереним областима
Азије, посебно југозападне Азије. По лековитим својствима се истичу Teucrium
chamaedrys (подубица), T. montanum (трава ива) и T. polium (пепељуша), што потврђује
њихова употреба у традиционалној фитотерапији широм света.
Од 55 анализираних етноботаничких студија, врста T. chamaedrys је поменута у 34,
T. polium у 23, а T. montanum у 11 студија. T. chamaedrys и T. polium најчешће користи
становништво Мале Азије и западног Балкана, док је врста T. montanum најпопуларнија у
региону западног Балкана. Надземни делови ових биљака се најчешће користе за
припрему инфузија или декокта, који се углавном употребљавају орално (84,2%), док је
спољашња примена ређа (9,2%). Етноботаничка истраживања су показала да се T. chamaedrys, T. polium и T.
montanum најчешће користе за лечење гастроинтестиналних проблема (пробавне сметње, бол у желуцу, дијареја, жутица, цироза, за чишћeње жучних путева и као лекови против
болова), болести срца и крвних судова (хемороиди, хипертензија, анемија и детоксикација
крви) и респираторних проблема (прехлада, грип, грозница, туберкулоза, рак плућа и као
фебрифуга). Такође, веома су значајне у лечењу дијабетеса. У Босни и Херцеговини и
Србији, T. montanum је једна од најпопуларнијих биљака у традиционалној медицини, која
према веровањима локалног становништва „лечи сваку болест“.
Међутим, упркос изразито повољном утицају на људско здравље, забележени су
случајеви штетног утицаја инфузија или декокта проучаваних Teucrium врста на здравље
људи, посебно због могућег изазивања хепатитиса. Да би се избегли нежељени ефекти,
неопходно је сагледати целокупно здравље пацијента, дозирање и трајање третмана. Стога
је потребно предузети даља истраживања врста T. chamaedrys, T. polium и T. montanum
фокусирајући се на фармаколошке аспекте, како би се елиминисали или минимизирали
потенцијални нежељени ефекти.

AB  - Pear (Pyrus communis L.) is consumed as fresh fruit, in numerous food products, and also used as a traditional remedy in various countries, including Serbia. In search of bioactive compounds, six traditional pear varieties (‘Vidovača’, ‘Lubeničarka’, ‘Karamanka’, ‘Jeribasma’, ‘Lončara’, ‘Takiša’) and wild pear from Serbia were investigated and compared with a commercial variety (‘Williams Bartlett’). The aim of this study was to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, phenolic composition, antioxidant capacity, and antineurodegenerative activities of methanolic extracts of peel, flesh, and mixed peel and flesh of pear fruits. Phenolic composition of extracts was determined with HPLC-DAD, while the antioxidant activity of extracts was evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Bearing in mind that oxidative stress is closely linked to neurodegeneration, the antineurodegenerative potential of the extracts was assessed by the inhibition of acetycholineserase (AChE) and tyrosinase (TYR) activities. The extracts of traditional varieties, particularly peel extracts, had a high content of phenolics, as well as significant antioxidant and moderate antineurodegenerative potential, compared to the commercial variety. The highest contents of total flavonoids and individual compounds, such as arbutin and chlorogenic acid, as well as the strongest antioxidant and TYR inhibitory activities were reported for the ‘Takiša’ peel extract. The performed analyses have revealed that fruits of traditional Serbian pear varieties are rich in bioactive components and could be used as functional food and for possible nutraceutical applications, to prevent diseases induced by oxidative stress.

AB  - A long tradition of fruit farming in Serbia is a significant part of a nation’s
heritage, it’s traditions and customs. The gene pool of the numerous traditional
varieties of apples (Malus sulvestris L.), pears (Pyrus communis L.) and plums
(Prunus domestica L.), is under a threat of irreversible disappearance, due to
introduction of new commercial varieties. Ethnobotanical research was carried out in
central, east and southwest Serbia. There are great diversity of apple varieties in
central and southeast Serbia: Kolačara, Đula, Šumatovka, Senabija, Tetovka,
Timočanka, Zelenika. Over 40 pear varieties still remained in central and southwest
Serbia: Vidovača, Ječmenjača, Lubeničarka, Medunak, Takiša, Karamanka, Lončara,
Jeribasma. The plum varieties have also great diversity in central Serbia: Bardaklija,
Moravka, Piskavac, Crnošljiva, Belošljiva, Ranka. The fruits are used predominantly
as a food, consumed as fresh, or processed into traditional products (juice, jam,
brandy, slatko, as dried fruit). They are also used in ethnomedicine, as a remedy
against some diseases (hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, constipation, body
mass reduction). It is of the greatest importance to protect the gene pool of traditional
varieties by conservation methods in situ and ex situ, as well as by raising awareness
among local populations, and by employing government aid.

AB  - This work represents an ethnobotanical and ethnomedicinal study focused on recording autochthonous pear varieties of the Polimlje region in southwest Serbia. The purpose of the study was to highlight genetic resources of pear varieties in situ and emphasize aspects of ethnodiversity and traditional knowledge. A special feature of the research area is the great diversity of indigenous varieties of pear, which have been cultivated for hundreds of years. Forty-six respondents from 25 to 78 years of age residing in 23 villages were interviewed, and 26 autochthonous pear varieties were recorded in the field. Among them 11.5% are widely available, 26.9% are rare, and 61.5% are very rare. For ethnomedicinal purposes, pear is used as a remedy against hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, and constipation; for reduction of body mass; as a uroseptic and/or an antirheumatic; and for cancer prevention. Pears are consumed as fresh fruit and in numerous food products. Depopulation of the investigated rural area is directly responsible for depletion of the gene pool of pear varieties and for loss of traditional knowledge. Preservation can be achieved by in situ methods such as raising awareness of the local inhabitants and ensuring support of the State.

AB  - Th is study   documents the ethnobotanical and ethnomedicinal knowledge of the local inhabitants in the region Polimlje in Southwest Serbia, focused on recording rare autochthonous pear varieties (Pyrus communis). A special feature of Polimlje, as an unique multiethnic complex of natural and cultural heritage, is the great diversity of indigenous varieties of pears and breeding tradition in the households for hundreds of years. Objectives of the study were: to establish the diversity of indigenous pear varieties in order to preserve the unique P. communis gene fond characteristic to this region, and to explore their use in ethnomedicine and traditional food production. Th e opened and semi-structured interviews were done with 40 people aged between 30-80 years (29 men and 11 women), during June - September 2015, on the territory of 23 villages. Th e results of this study indicate the presence of 23 autochtonous pear varieties: 7 are determined as rare (Vidovača, Ječmenjača, Ilinjača, Lubeničarka, Medunak, Zimnjača, Takiša) and 16 as extremely rare (Jagodarka, Mirisavka, Sijerak, Turundžija, Stambolka, Čađavica, Okruglica, Mesnjača, Jarac, Bazva, Tepavac, Lončara, Kantaruša, Ovčara, Turšijara, Budaljača). A lot of varieties remain in the old and abandoned homes and the rugged terrain. For medicinal purpose pear is used (fresh or dried fruit, juice or compote) as antihypertensive remedy (65.2%), antidiabetic or anticholesterol (63%), anticonstipation remedy (54.3%), as well as for body mass reduction (65.2%). Tea made from the pear skin is used for urolithiasis - stone and sand in the kidney (36.9%), pear tea and fresh fruit juice are applied as antirheumatics (26%) and for cancer prevention (10.87%). Pears are consumed as fresh fruit, in pies and cakes, or they are processed in a compote, juice, jam or marmalade, baby food, jelly, syrup, dried fruit, pear brandy and other traditional products (sita, vodnjika). Depopulation of investigated rural area is directly related to disappearance of pear varieties gene pool, thereby losing traditional knowledge. Preservation can be achieved with in situ methods, by raising the awareness of the inhabitants and through the support of the State.
