Abstract

Our paper presents the possibilities regarding the in vitro propagation of species Drosera rotundifolia si Pinguicula vulgaris, two of the few carnivorous species in Romania. These two species can be found in humid, swampy areas, especially in peat bogs, the perimeters in which they live are natural reservations, protected areas or Natura 2000 sites, being protected by law. The in vitro propagation of these species was done with the aim of obtaining a large number of plants in a short time, starting from leaf fragments, for the conservation of the bodiversity of these sites.
