Laboratory of Radiobiology and Ecotoxicology of Agricultural Plants
All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Radiology and Agroecology of NRC «Kurchatov Institute»
The main activities of the laboratory are the use of high-performance methods of molecular biology to study the mechanisms of adaptation of plant populations to the levels of man-made pollution actually present in the biosphere. - The use of ionizing radiation and high-performance methods of molecular biology to identify genes that affect the yield and stress resistance of cultivated plants. - Study of plant responses to ionizing radiation, heavy metals and pesticides. - Study of the patterns of formation of biological effects of low doses and ionizing radiation capacities. - Development of theoretical foundations and practical methods of bioindication and biotesting of anthropogenic pollution using plants.
