FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY Department of Agricultural Biotechnology established in 1986
FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY • FUNDAMENTAL AND APPLIED RESEARCH: • Marker-assisted selection (MAS) – Use of molecular markers in plant breeding. • Genetic fingerprinting of crop plants • DNA-based diagnostics of hybrid purity and genetic variation of commercial hybrids F1 • DNA-based diagnostics of safety and quality of agricultural products
FUNDAMENTAL AND APPLIED RESEARCH: • DNA-based detection and identification of plant pathogens • Molecular cytogenetics • Genetic engineering • Plant tissue culture – Rapid multiplication, in vitro production of disease-free material, Embryo rescue, microspore culture • Application of plant growth regulators FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY
FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY Projects National level Identification of disease resistance genes and creation of the transgenic plants resistant to phytopathogenes – Russian Ministry of Education and Science; Russian Ministry of Agriculture International collaboration New approach for effective analysis, genetic mapping, transformation and testing of agricultural plants genomes -Russian Ministry of Education and Science; The Netherlands, Plant Research International, Wageningen
FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY • International collaboration • Comparative genome organization of the A.cepa, A.roley, A.fistulosum and tomato. - The Netherlands, Plant Research International, Wageningen University & Research Center • Molecular-cytogenetics of sex determination in Hop. –Germany,Institute ofBiotechnology, University ofHohenheim,Stuttgart;USA, Oregon State University, Corvallis. • Genetic engineering - Australia
FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY • Department of Agricultural Biotechnology • Results of research studies were published in Russian and international journals – “Plant physiology”, “Genetics”, «Plant Journal», «Genome», «Euphytica» and others.
