Plant adaptation to adverse conditions

Research Fields:
Biology & Biochemistry

Previous and Current Research

Development of biotechnological and introduction methods of protection of rare and useful plants under environmental change. The ability to tolerate drought- and heat resistance of representatives of different species and genues were analyzed at anatomical and biochemical levels.

In vitro plant propagation, study of the process of plant adaptation to adverse conditions from different ecological groups; solving various taxonomic issues.

Future Projects and Goals

Identification of the most promising plant species in order to include them in the urban environment to overcome the impact of "urban heat island". The selection will be based on a study of the potential for lowering the temperature and absorption of CO2 in plants, determining the most stress-tolerant in terms of drought resistance and antioxidant response  of plant to hyperthermia.

Methodological and Technical Expertise

  • anatomical, physiological, morphological, cytogenetic and biochemical (determination of antioxidant status) methods of plant research,

  • cytological and histological methods of animal research,

  • plant biotechnology (cell and tissue culture, microclonal plant propagation)
