VI.5 - Participation in conducting (leading) the most important research projects or art projects over the last six years
1

VEGA 1/0605/17; 2017 - 2020; Structural and functional adaptations of selected extremophiles and crops on abiotic stresors. Project was focused on anatomical-cytological and physiological changes of tissues of some plant species (e.g. metalophytes, xerophytes, halophytes, crops) in respect to their response to selected abiotic stressors, like heavy metals, toxic elements, salinity or drought stress.

2

VEGA 1/0745/20; 2020 - 2023; Plant resistance induction against phytophagous sucking insects with non-toxic silicon. The goal of this project is to find out if

silicon application can enhance the plant shoot defence against phytopathogenic insects either by specific

deposition of silicate aggregates or by metabolic changes in the plant shoots.

APVV-15-0156; 2016 - 2020; Genomic selection of cereals for drought tolerance. The aim of this project was to contribute to the solution of drought in bread wheat, which is the most widespread crop. It has been shown that dehydrins play an important role in plant tolerance to drought, and that the genes responsible for this tolerance are highly conserved and under severe selection pressure. Selected methods were used as monitoring the phenotypic manifestation of the vntr mutation in the DHN3 gene on the 6AL chromosome, determination of the properties of the mutant DHN3 protein and monitoring of the expression of the DHN3 gene, sequencing of the DHN3 gene on the 1BL chromosome.
