Research focus:
I specialize in seed biology and the long-term conservation of forest tree genetic resources, with particular emphasis on cryopreservation and in vitro culture techniques. My research focuses on developing and optimizing storage protocols for seeds classified as recalcitrant, orthodox, and suborthodox, by analyzing their tolerance to desiccation, exposure to low temperatures, and potential for long-term storage under cryogenic conditions.
An important area of my scientific work involves improving in vitro micropropagation and cryopreservation protocols for embryos and organ fragments of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur), including genotypes derived from old, monumental trees. The aim of this research is to preserve unique genotypes and ensure their availability for future research, breeding, and restoration efforts. The protocols I have developed enable the effective multiplication and conservation of plant material with verified genetic identity and high biological quality.
In my work, I apply an integrated approach combining physiological, biochemical, and biotechnological analyses. I place particular emphasis on ex situ conservation in gene banks, using cryopreservation methods based on liquid nitrogen. My research contributes to the development of strategies for conserving the biological and genetic diversity of forest trees and supports practical actions in forestry and forest resource preservation under changing climatic conditions.
