Current Research Activities
Within the trend the scientist carries out the analysis of genomes of plants. Her work also includes cloning and sequencing of DNA sequences of rare and resource plant species; developing principles of multiple molecular and genetic genome marking and conception of identification and assessment of the state of gene pool of rare and endangered plant species.
In the framework of the trend the investigator deals with molecular and genetic identification and certification of populations and plant species. She uses molecular bar-codes to solve the problem of storage of biodiversity and establishes the genetic determinant of developing significant properties of plants.
The scientist assesses the state of gene pool and resource and rare plant species, produces recommendations for preservation of genetic resources of the Perm Krai and model system of optimisation of preservation of rare and resource plant species diversity.
