The Laboratory of Genetics and Plant Resistance
Head: Iulia SIROMEATNICOV, PhD
Laboratory staff: 23, including 2 doctors habilitat, 1 professor, 8 PhD in biology and agriculture, 7 researchers.
Research directions
Genetic and plant resistance of valuable quantitative and qualitative characteristics of plant varieties, development of new principles, variability and quantity increase, genetic mechanisms for controlling the process for producing qualitative varieties of tomatoes, triticale, maize and garlic, developing production and ensuring the production process stability under intensive agriculture.
Relevant results
There were established processes features of caluso-genesis, somatic embryogenesis for tomato, triticale and corn plants regeneration under cold conditions. Multi-factorial dispersion analysis showed significant influence of the studied factors on the frequency of somatic embryosis training and regenerating plants. There was determined stability of demonstration and inheritance of morphological, anatomical and biochemical characteristics, resistance to pathogens and there were selected for further improvement of about 20 forms of intra- and inter-specific tomatoes with valuable characteristics. There were elaborated methods of differentiation and screening of tomato genotypes with a different level of capacity of water absorption and retention, and early flowering period. Impact of the osmotic stress contributing to changing parameters of pollen grains, pollen size variation showed a dominant influence of the genotype of 70.2 to 74. 2%. The use of methods for doubling of chromosomes to haploids allowed annually about 250 lines of corn homozygote.
Business proposals
Pre-basic seeds of tomato and chickpeas varieties with high productivity, quality and resistance to diseases and drought were proposed for marketing. The Laboratory staff created and approved in the Republic of Moldova a dozen of advanced varieties such as tomato (Anatolie, Iulihirsutian) - the varieties were productive and resistant to drought. They were recommended for fresh consumption and processing garlic variety Izumrud - the variety was resistant to cold and heat and was tolerant to major diseases. It was intended for fresh consumption and for use in cooking and processing industry), sorghum (SASM 4).
The Laboratory of Plant Genetic Resources
Head: Anatol GANEA, PhD
Laboratory staff: 18, including 14 researchers, 9 PhD in biology and agriculture
Research directions
- Study of crop wild relatives of some culture (inventorying of populations and their evaluation) în forest ecosystems of Republic of Moldova;
- GPS-positioning and collecting the landraces and other local forms of cultivated species in rural areas;
- Ex situ evaluation of the specimens of cereal, pulse, leguminous, tecnical, nontraditional and new species by morfo-biological, physiological and biochemical characteristics in the field, glass house and laboratory conditions;
- Creation and ex situ conservation of the works, actives, base and national collections of agricultural plants and their wild relatives, search and utilization of methods for increasing the viability of germplasm after its long term prezervation;
- Maintaining and administration of the National Informational System relating to plant agrobiodiversity.
Relevant results
GPS-positioning and description of in situ populations of some crop wild relatives (5 pilot species) were made in forest ecosystems of all soil-climatic zones of the Republic of Moldova and valuable sources of germplasm were identified. Over 1.2 thousand of local forms of cultivated plants related to 35 botanical species and subspecies were collected in 15 regions of the country. Over 2 thousand of cultivars, lines, hybrid populations, mutant forms, and wild plant species were studied in field experiments, and genotypes with valuable productivity and resistance traits were selected. New cultivars of tomato, pepper and eggplant were obtained. Positive influence of millimeter waves on increase of seed viability was demonstrated through the example of genotypes of cereal, technical, vegetable and medicinal crops, protective and reparative effects of radiation were revealed, that is important for seed material preserved for a long time in ex situ collections. Passportization of spiked cereals was performed with regard to polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity, content of crude gluten and gliadins: glutenins ratio; passportization of hybrid populations of chickpea – with regard to water-soluble seed protein fraction. ReGen and Cartoteca informational systems were developed and were used for input and management of data on specimens of ex situ collections of plant genetic resources and germplasm conserved in situ.
Business proposals
As a result of complex evaluation of collection specimens at the level of sporophyte and male gametophyte, new breeding material of pulse and vegetable crops was obtained using breeding and genetic methods. The following cultivars were proposed:
Center in Plant Protection
- The Laboratory of Phytopharmacy and Ecotoxicology
- The Laboratory of Entomology and Biocenology
- The Laboratory of Phytopathology and Biotechnology
- The Laboratory of Forecasts and Phytosanitary Risk Analysis
- The Laboratory for Integrated Protection
- The Laboratory of Synthesis and Evaluation of Attractants
