Key directions of scientific research:

• Investigation and use of the gene pool of wild potato species: genetics of pre- and postzygotic interspecies barriers in potato and the development of methods to overcome them; analysis of the introgression of the gene pool of wild species into the breeding material; DNA marking and mapping of introgressive genes;
• Optimization of the potato breeding process on the basis of selection at the diploid level and manipulations with the starting material ploidy; elaboration of breeding programs and development of the starting material for the different stages of diploid breeding; use of DNA markers in potato breeding at diploid and tetraploid levels.
