Major accomplishments

·       Developed a protocol for canola genetic transformation using leaves of aseptic plants as the explants.

·       Obtained several groups of transgenic canola plants bearing heterologous genes of different origin, namely

1.    bar gene providing plant tolerance to herbicides with phosphinotricin as acting agent;

2.    syntheticepsps gene which is responsible for plant resistance to glyphosate herbicides;

3.    human interferon alpha 2b gene, HuINFα2gene;

4.    desaturase С gene from cyanobacterium Synocococcus vulcanus, fused in reading frame with repoter lichenase gene fromClostridium thermocellum, DesC::LIC.BM3 gene;

5.    СYP11Agene from bovine adrenal cortex mitochondria encoding cytochrome P450SCC.

·             Obtained with colleagues the data about physiological, biochemical, and molecular biological characteristics of these transgenic plants.

·             Identified the improved crop lines with higher biomass production under normal conditions as well as in water deficit or heat stress.

·             Participated in creation of plant germplasm bank of world flora in part of obtaining of in vitro cultures. This collection was included to the list of scientific objects which are considered as the national scientific property by the decision of Ukrainian government.
