            Main research interest
          • The main goal of research is the study of phytohormones and growth regulators influence on the plant growth and development
          • Regulation of plant morphogenesis as regulated by phytohormones and growth regulators was studied. Mechanisms of modulation active cytokinin  level were investigated by means of  various transgenic constructs in Arabidopsis and tobacco plants. Embryo and seedling development were studied anatomically in the novel transcription activation system for regulated gene expression which was established at the Oxford University. The study is performed in close collaboration with the Laboratory of Plant Molecular Physiology, MU Brno and the Institute of Biophysics, Brno.
          • Investigation of regularities of somatic embryo development. Direct somatic embryogenesis is observed in pea meristem culture induced by a synthetic auxin Picloram. Anatomy of somatic embryos is studied my means of histological and histochemical methods. This work is done in cooperation with Agritec Ltd., Sumperk, CZ.
