Research interests

Accumulation of low molecular weight antioxidants – anthocyanins, phenolic compounds, vitamins A, C, E, carotenoids (β-carotene), and some amino acids in plants under the influence of various probiotic compositions is studied. Methodology used: thin-layer chromatography, spectrophotometry.

Annotation of the dissertation

The idea of the work is to create and justify a set of human-friendly biotechnological agents complex to optimize the productivity and nutritional value of root vegetables.
Research planned in the work: the accumulation of low molecular weight antioxidants – anthocyanins, phenolic compounds, vitamins A, C, E, carotenoids (β-carotene), some amino acids in plants under the influence of various probiotic compositions will be investigated. The most important functions of anthocyanins are binding of free radicals, reactive oxygen species, participation in gene expression and others. Phenolic compounds protect plants from oxidative stress and pathogenic microorganisms. It is expected that the use of probiotic compositions will promote the growth, productivity and antioxidant activity of root crops.
The results of the work would allow revealing the physiological reactions of root crops to the substances released by probiotic microorganisms, in search of ecological biotechnological tools to increase the productivity of agricultural plants.
