Key directions of scientific research:
- Investigation into the molecular-genetic mechanisms of plant adaptation to abiotic and biotic stresses;
- Identification and certification of plant genetic resources using DNA-typing;
- Elaboration of effective biotechnology for the marker-assisted selection and development of economically valuable plant forms;
- Verification of fish origin, belonging of fish species and breeds;
- Study of epigenetic DNA modifications associated with the age of an individual.
