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

VEGA 1/0419/18  Physical and chemical processes at the interface of low-temperature plasma with water, and their use forbio-medical and agricultural applications. The interaction of water with non-equilibrium cold plasmas generated by electrical discharges is accompanied by transfer of active species from gas phase to the bulk liquid which generates plasma activated water (PAW). The project deals with the potential interaction of PAW with bacteria and crops in an effort to improve the growth and yeld.

2

VEGA 1/0605/17 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.

3

VEGA 1/0755/16 V Silicon-mediated inhibition of fungal phytopathogen invasion into the plant roots. The goal of this project was to find out if the silicon application can enhance the root defence against phytopathogenic fungus either by specific deposition of silicate aggregates or by metabolic changes in the plant roots.

4

APVV-22-0247 Plasma-liquid interactions and the effects/applications of plasma activated water in medicine and agriculture. The interdisciplinary project, aims to study the effect of plasma or plasma-activated water on biological systems - plants, fungi or animal tissues. It is being watched as a potential for agricultural use, as well as its use in medicine, especially in the field of decontamination.


5

VEGA 1/0472/22 Modulation of plant stress responses by silicon – a key to improvement of agricultural production. The main goal is to find out the possibilities of the influence of stress reactions of crops that are exposed to stressful conditions, using silicon. Molecular-biological, biochemical, and structural modulations of reactions are monitored.
