STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

• Development of fundamental and applied research of economic interest
• National and international collaboration, in particular with researchers among the scientific diaspora through exchange programmes, training, seminars, public lectures, projects, etc.
• Training conducted using “Scientific Inquiry-Based Learning” research, identifying research potential among undergraduate and graduate students of UnASM
• Continuous development of logistical infrastructure for ensuring competitiveness of funds and national and international recognition

RESEARCH DIRECTIONS

• Gene expression under ASC-Rf system and induced male sterility
• Role of gibberellins in microsporogenesis in Helianthus annuus L.
• Molecular and genetic control of Helianthus annuus – Plasmopara halstedii interaction
• Genetic variability of different crops (phylogenetic relationships, genetic purity, genotyping)
• Identification of linked molecular markers with economically valuable traits (restoring fertility, heterosis, resistance to biotic and abiotic stress, etc.)
