The laboratory conducts comprehensive research using a wide range of research methods and approaches in the field of cell biology and molecular genetics of development:

- modern methods of light, fluorescent and confocal laser scanning microscopy;

- real-time PCR analysis of gene expression;

- cloning of genes of interest and localization of their expression at the cellular level;

- production of transgenic plants using agrobacterial transformation;

- genetic editing of CRISPR/Cas9.

Research directions

Biology of plant development

+
The study of structural and genetic mechanisms of adaptive regulation of plant growth and development during evolution using the example of root systems and nitrogen-fixing nodules. Elucidation of the regularities of the functioning of meristems and cellular differentiation of terrestrial plants, as well as phytohormonal signaling. Identification of the basic principles and ancestral molecular genetic mechanisms of plant morphogenesis and its directed regulation. The search for regulatory genes that can influence the growth and development of plants, as well as increase crop yields.
