Evaluation of amaranth varieties using biochemical and molecular methods for creating functional products based on leaf biomass

Identification of morphological physiological, biochemical characteristics of plant varieties of amaranth grown in Russia and Ecuador, the study of the dynamics of accumulation ascorbic acid in leaf biomass and identification of genes responsible for for ascorbic acid synthesis.

The Potential of SHW as sources of resistance to brown rust and powdery mildew

The dissertation is devoted to the assessment of the primary synthetic wheat for resistance to leaf rust and powdery mildew, and then selection the best genotypes with a set of economic indicators to be used in line breeding process in Non-Chernozem zone and other regions where the wheat is being exposed to these diseases. On the basis of the three-year studies of 400 patterns of SHW the most highly productive ones with resistance to leaf rust, powdery mildew resistant and group were selected. The genes of resistance to leaf rust were identified using phytopatologic tests and molecular markers. Selected 50 patterns of SHW with a complex economically valuable features might be used as sources of disease resistance, productivity and grain quality in wheat breeding in Non-Chernozem zone of Russia.

The productivity and composition of biologically active substances in the East Asian types of cabbage for functional food

The study of the source material of East Asian cabbage species on biochemical parameters and productivity for further selection for increased content of biologically active substances for functional nutrition.

Evaluation of Brassica chinensis L. cultivars for quantitative characters and content of some antioxidants

The main aim of our research is evaluation of breeding materials (Brassica chinensis L. Cultivars) for resistance to stress-factors, high content of antioxidants, and sorting out some genetic quantitative characters of economic value.
