Faculty of Horticultural Science
Main research areas at the FacultyMain research areas at the Faculty screening and breeding of varieties by traditional and
molecular breeding technics biochemical and genetical studies on plant stress
reactions in vitro and in vivo (enzymes, defence molecules, resistant germplasm)
development and improvement of environment friendly horticultural technologies (integrated pest managment,
ecological farming) studies on biologically active compounds (antioxidants,
essential oils, sacharids),distribution, production and optimalisation in plants)
Faculty of Horticultural Science
Some further research topics
Virus genetics and characterisation, plant-pathogen interactions
Introduction of indigenous wild plants (ornamentals, medicinal plants into agriculture
Optimal nutrition of horticultural crops Studies of the consequences of global climatic
changes (mathematical modelling, microclimate in plant stands, phenology of insects.)
Development of micropropagation technics New analytical methods for the detection and
quantification of active molecules in plants

Since 1963 this sector is a main base of research and education on more than 30 hectars. It has a continuously widening range of conifer collection (550 taxa), broad leaved and shrub collection (530 taxa), perennial and peony collection (63 taxa), and there are propagation and growing experiments on 3 ha nursery.
Main fundamental research areas: Morphology and phenology, rooting and grafting soldering, gene reservation and stress tolerance.
