Research Activity - Institute of Horticultural Sciences
Research Activity
- Gene conservation, gene bank preservation of medicinal plants and its methodological development
- Cultivation of wild herbs, development of cultivation technology
- Research, breeding, variety production and maintenance of the biological bases of medicinal plants
- Study of the chemical diversity of medicinal plant taxa and populations, chemotaxonomy
- Exploring the physiological and genetic knowledge that determines drug production and quality
- Agrotechnical innovation (e.g. sowing time, cultivation area, water supply, chemical weed control, harvesting technology, optimization of drying)
- Active substance content and composition tests mainly for drugs that accumulate essential oil, alkaloids and flavonoids: methodology development and serial tests
- Study of drugs with antioxidant effect, optimization of drug and active ingredient production
- Investigation of the effect of abiotic stressors (drought, frost) on the accumulation of active ingredients, physiological and biochemical processes of medicinal plants
