Based on the molecular researches, effective markers were found, which were proposed for genotyping of the different varieties and hybrids of tomatoes, corn, soybeans and grapevines.

As result of screening on selective tools, new forms of tomatoes, wheat, spring barley were obtained, with improved agronomical important traits through in vivo and in vitro mutagenesis, inter-specific recombinogenesis.

For the first time, it was revealed that in C3 (cereals genotypes) the C3 type of photosynthesis is typical for leafs, while the other plant organs with photosynthetic activities (spike, stem, glumes) show the C4 characteristics. This phenomenon was established both for tomatoes and soybean, presenting new opportunities for C3 plant reconstruction with high productivity.   

It was noted the contribution of genetic and conditions factors, as well as their interactions, on the formation of the valuable quantitative characters, such as wheat and tomatoes resistance and productivity. 

It was demonstrated a wide range of the separate steroidal glycosides influence of in complex with Zn and Mn microelements on apricots and peach plants crop quantity and quality. It was elaborated, patented and implemented a new fertilizing compound “Microcom” for foliate treatment in order to diminish the impact of soil drought and fortification the health status.

It was revealed that the plant tolerance to the unfavorable conditions depends on the Fe, P, Ni and anions dose and ratio, which is expressed in microelements and protective substance accumulation.
