Abstract

Hypericum perforatum L., is a widely known and used species worldwide. Belonging to the Hypericaceae family, it is one of the most prominent medicinal and aromatic plants used to treat mild and moderate types of depression. Its pharmacological effect is due to its content of hypericin and its derivatives. The crude drug of this plant is sourced both by collecting (wildcrafting) from the natural populations and by open field production. Plant breeding is aimed at selecting high quality and high yielding varieties that under appropriate climatic conditions and cultivation technologies can ensure sustainable production.
