Key directions of scientific research:

• investigation of molecular genetic mechanisms of plant adaptation to abiotic and biotic stress;
• elaboration of technologies for the development of transgenic plants;
• development of molecular assessment methods for plant genetic resources;
• genetics of experimental plant morphogenesis, elaboration of effective biotechnologies for the development of economically valuable plants;
• verification of origin (pedigree), species and breed belonging of animals including fish; identification and certification of plants on the basis of DNA-typing.
