Speedbreeding (accelerated breeding) Laboratories with a set of equipment and parameters selected for each culture to accelerate phenological phases. Such laboratories can produce up to 7 seed generations of cereal crops per year, and sunflower blooms on the 39th day from sowing. Average full vegetation period (seed to seed): Spring grains - less than 2 months Sunflower - less than 2.5 months Spring rape - less than 2 months Peas - less than 2 months Corn - 3 months Soybeans - less than 2 months With the application of the yarrowization laboratory: Sugar beet - 8 months Winter grains - 4-5 months |
Yarrowization Yarrowization is the process of treating seeds or plants with low temperatures to stimulate flowering and fruiting. The laboratory simulates the conditions of yarrowization, determining the optimal cooling regimes for different cultures, which accelerates their development and increases yields. Allows for accelerated selection of winter crops, average full vegetation period (seed to seed): Sugar beet - 8 months Winter cereals - 4-5 months |
Microclonal reproduction The in vitro method produces genetically identical copies (clones) of the original plant. Its key advantages are:

Study of photomorphogenesis Photomorphogenesis laboratories are needed to study the effects of different light spectra on plant growth, development and morphology. The focus is on investigating how different wavelengths of light affect physiological processes such as photosynthesis, pigment synthesis, hormone regulation, and the formation of habitus (plant appearance). Key objectives of the laboratory include: 1. Spectral influence study: Analyzing how different light spectra affect plant growth, morphology (e.g. height, leaf shape, branching) and productivity. For example, blue light often stimulates compact growth and increased chlorophyll synthesis, while red light promotes stem elongation and accelerated flowering. 2. Habitus control: Developing methods to control plant form and structure through light regimes. 3. Acceleration of phenological phases: Exploring the possibility of controlling the stages of plant development (germination, flowering, fruiting) using light signals. For example, the use of certain spectra can accelerate the transition to flowering or improve the synchronization of fruit ripening. |
Freezing Specializes in the complex study of crop adaptation to temperature extremes. Her key functions include: Yarrowization research Yarovization is the process of treating seeds or plants with low temperatures to stimulate flowering and fruiting. The lab simulates the conditions of jarovization by determining the optimal chilling regimes for different crops, which accelerates their development and increases yields. Assessment of frost resistance Frost resistance is the ability of plants to withstand short-term frosts without permanent damage. Experiments are conducted in the laboratory to gradually reduce temperature by analyzing the reactions of plant cells and tissues to develop varieties that are resistant to sudden cold snaps. Study of winter tolerance Winter hardiness is a complex resistance to prolonged winter stresses: frost, temperature extremes, uprooting under snow, and ice crust. The laboratory simulates seasonal changes by testing plants to maintain viability under months of cold weather. Analyzing the risks of return frosts Return frosts are sudden cold spells after the start of the growing season that are devastating to young shoots. The laboratory recreates analyzing backgrounds, to create resistant varieties. |
Tests of herbicides and growth regulators Laboratories with systems adapted for working with preparations. |
Fungicide testing Laboratories for fungicide screening and testing in various temperature conditions, with extremely high humidity values. |
climate chamber midi Climate chamber combines the power of laboratory facilities (climate, ultra-high PHAR levels), with small dimensions (1.5×1.5×2m) and a usable growing area of 1 m². It holds 40+ plant samples (depending on pot size) and operates autonomously for up to 3 months without human intervention. |
grow kits Laboratory consumables: substrate, fertilizers, pots. To achieve the best results with different crops, especially for accelerated breeding (speed breeding), it is important to use specialized substrates and fertilizers that provide optimal conditions for plant growth and development. |
