Research directions of the laboratory:	Studying the fundamentals of in vitro embryogenesis and morphogenesis induction in grain plants; Development of technology for reproduction of rare and endangered plant species; Obtaining highly adaptive and resistant plant forms against abiotic stresses using in vitro methods.
Main scientific achievements:	Using the cell engineering method, somaclonal variable forms were obtained from mature and immature germ cells to be used in the selection process of the wheat plant. The regulation of callusogenesis and morphogenesis processes of different alfalfa cultivars and clones by hormones was studied. Ginseng (Panax ginseng) tissues were transferred to culture and a cell culture with high pharmacological activity was obtained. An in vitro method was developed that ensures high reproduction of the saffron (Crocus sativa L.) plant (10-25 microbulbs per test tube). Clonal propagation technology was developed for 15 valuable table grape varieties. The technology of rapid reproduction of grapevines with single-eye cuttings was developed and put into practice. The technology for preserving the genefund, population recovery and biotechnological reproduction of the aboriginal Shirvan-Shahi grape variety was developed. An agaraponic cultivation system was developed, which allows the detection of the degree of resistance and adaptability in plants under an increasing stress gradient.
