Key directions of scientific research:
- Cytogenomics of grain crops, studying the structural and functional variability of genomes at molecular and cellular levels at distant hybridization, polyploidy and inbreeding;
- Studying of microevolutionary differentiation mechanisms of polyploid crop species;
- Experimental transformation of the genetic structure of cereal crops (rye, wheat, triticale, and secalotriticum) by chromosome engineering methods;
- Chromosomal and molecular marking of the new gene pool of tetraploid and hybrid (CMS) rye, recombinant tetraploid and hexaploid forms of triticale and secalotriticum; marker-assisted selection (MAS).
