Abstract
Investigations of the programme group deal with applied botany, plant physiology, genetics and ecology in connection with agricultural production and conservation of the environment and natural heritage. On the field of applied botany and physiology the research programme deals with morphological and anatomical investigations at different levels (plant cell to community), connected with growth, development and propagation of agricultural plants within various agricultural technologies (horticulture, field crops, pasture and meadow plants). One part of genetic investigations deal with genetic and molecular basis of agricultural plants with emphases on morphological, physiological and nutritional characteristics of crops, first of all grain crops, buckwheat and legumes related to the needs of technological procedures in preparation of dietary food for special groups of consumers. Other part of genetic investigations is dedicated to the research of genetic diversity of selected groups of higher plants in combination with classic taxonomic investigations. Taxonomic and vegetation investigations deal with grassland management and weed control, environmental pollution and conservation of special habitats. Ecophysiological part of the research deals with stress at agricultural production (abiotic stress, pollution stress - sulphur dioxide, photooxidants, carbon dioxide, heavy metals). In ecological research the main part of investigation are the methods of bioindication in terrestrial ecosystems, carried out at different levels and investigation of symbiotic relations (mycorrhiza, lichens). Another part of the research programme are investigations dealing with medical and aromatic plants and informatics in agriculture.
