Genetic identification of plants

• Molecular and genetic identification of populations and varieties of plant organisms with new generation genetic analyzers.
• Determination of variety identity of propagating material (seeds, seedlings, fruits, etc.).
• Analysis of added impurities – adulteration by other plant species in products with increased added value using the DNA barcoding technique..
• Molecular characterization of local traditional varieties with molecular markers.

Conducting experiments

• Application and evaluation of formulations that improve the productivity and quality of fruits and vegetables.
• Determination of absorption rate of inorganic elements after foliar spraying
