Department’s Research Profile:
1) breeding new cultivars of hops and tobacco towards quality and resistance using traditional, biotechnological and cytogenetic methods;
2) applying tissue cultures in genetic and biochemical research;
3) research on crops and pathogens using molecular biology techniques;
4) diagnosis of diseases and identification of pathogens;
5) qualitative, immunological and adaptation tests on wild species and varieties collected in the hops and tobacco collection;
6) examination of the content of selected plant secondary metabolites using chromatographic and conductometric methods (tobacco alkaloids, essential oils, bitter acids and hop flavonoids).
