| Key scientific achievements | The nucleotide sequence of the chloroplast DNA of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) has been partially determined. The structure and evolutionary properties of the genome and the localization of petA, cemA, accD and 4,5S rrn, tRNAAsn genes were determined in the chloroplast genom of Cicer arietinum. The results of the fundamental importance were obtained in view of the clarification of the stuctural organization and evolution principles of chloroplast genomes in higher plants.The salt tolerance potential of Azerbaijan's durum and bread wheat genotypes was analyzed with RAPD and SSR markers. Expression of wrky transcription factor and HKT ion transporter genes related to salt resistance were studied. Perspective varieties for breeding have been identified |
