The purpose of the laboratory strategy — development and introduction of physiological, biochemical and bioengineering methods of rapid creation, evaluation and breeding resistant to stress and crop yields.
The main directions of scientific research at laboratory:
Evaluation and establishment of the modern breakthrough biotechnologies for genetic engineering, metabolic engineering, …omix technologies, genes and genomes plant editing to create highly productive, disease and pest-resistant elite genotypes and cultivars of the major priority crops in agriculture.
Study of the biochemical and molecular genetic mechanisms of the resistance of grain and leguminous crops to abiotic stresses, and improving the quality and productivity.
Development of technologies for introducing kok-saghyz, a domestic producer of natural rubber, into the culture.
Main results of activity (for the last 5 years):
Genetic constructions of key genes to combat micropathogens and viruses penetration and infecting in barley have been created: Ac gene — chitinase that destroys the cell wall of microfungies; constriction for plant CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing and knockout of gene eukaryotic virus translation initiation factor (eIF4E) that involved in translation of many viruses caused crops diseases. A new simple and effective genotype-independent germ-line biotechnology method for genetic transformation of barley has been developed and patented. Genetic editing approaches for the barley eIF4E gene have been developed, including bombardment and Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformations. Genetic editing (modification) of the eIF4E gene is performing. Edited CRISPR / Cas9 barley lines with modification of the eIF4E gene resistant to many viral diseases will be created.
Approaches to improve the natural resistance of plants to biotic stresses and to create disease-resistant soybean lines by genetic engineering of the phenylpropanoid cycle have been developed. Genetic engineering techniques for increasing the biosynthesis of lignin — a natural anti-microbial compound, to improve the control of micro-pathogens that caused diseases have been established. Genetic constructions of the key genes of phenylpropanoid cycle have been elaborated and applied in the genetic transformation of soybean: transcription factor Cs/MYB4sens; the main lignification genes — 35S/PAL5, C4H/F5H, 35S/CAD1, as well as gene antioxidant stress — FeSOD. The biotechnology of A. tumefaciens mediated germ-line genetic transformation of soybean plants was elaborated and optimized for the introduction of key genes of lignin biosynthesis and resistance to biotic stresses and was used to obtain T0 transgenes with the fficiency of beans forming 90% of transformed seeds number. Metabolic profiling of transgenic soybean plants showed a composition changing and an increasing of content of the most important metabolites of the phenylpropanoid cycle: flavonols, phenolic acids, genistin, saponins — antioxidants involved in protecting plants from biotic stresses.
So, the transition from Genomics to Metabolomics was carried out by improving the most important metabolic process — the phenylpropanoid cycle in soybean plants using genetic engineering techniques to improve resistance to biotic stresses — diseases caused by micropathogens.
New interspecific drought-resistant wheat hybrids with high grain quality for various purposes of the food industry were obtained.
Kok-saghyz breeding technologies have been developed.
Methods for the extraction of rubber from Kok-saghyz roots have been developed.
