Research focus:

My research focuses on the anatomical and physiological responses of woody plants under in vitro conditions, with particular emphasis on improving their morphophysiological quality and understanding the mechanisms of physiological stress. My primary goal is to optimize micropropagation protocols for tree species, especially those that are recalcitrant to conventional propagation methods, and to elucidate how plants adapt to oxidative and hypoxic stress during controlled cultivation.

I investigate the effects of various plant growth regulators, including exogenous cytokinins and auxins, as well as other beneficial elements, such as silicon and activated charcoal, on the physiological quality of plantlets and the performance of their photosynthetic apparatus. Special attention is given to oxidative mechanisms and hormonal balance, and how they influence tissue development in leaves and roots, as well as the accumulation of starch and photosynthetic pigments. I adopt an integrative approach combining anatomical, biochemical, and physiological analyses to comprehensively assess plant quality in vitro. My research supports advancements in forest resource conservation, plant biotechnology, and the clonal propagation of valuable tree genotypes such as Quercus robur, particularly in the context of biodiversity preservation and improved acclimatization success.
