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.
