Abstract
The research programme comprises two research studies on fruit plants (apple, pear, peach, cherry, olive, walnut, hazelnut, strawberry, etc.), grapevines and vegetables (leafy crops, solanaceous crops, cole crops, etc. ): (
A) the researches on biological potential and physiological processes, (B) technological measures based on the knowledge of biological potential of plant material and suitable for a great soil and climatic diversity of agricultural areas.
The research work (A) encompasses the study on physiological processes (primary and secondary metabolism of cellular components depending on natural factors, photosynthesis activity and plant nursing). The research into primary metabolism during the growth period will include analyses of individual sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose), alcohol sugar sorbitol and organic acids (malic, citric, fumaric, shikimic …) depending on water regime, photosynthesis and nutrition of plants. Different enzyme processes will be studied, being of essential importance for the synthesis and conversion of plant substances. The research into secondary metabolites will consist of the analyses of the polyphenols from the point of stress (stress factors cause the synthesis of polyphenols which can protect a plant from possible injuries), incompatibility (between the rootstock and cultivar), plant resistance to diseases and as indicators of the produce quality. The analyses will be carried out with chromatographic and spectrofotometric techniques.
The research work (B) based on the results of the previous analyses encompasses the development of methods and technological measures for qualitative production of fruits, grapes and vegetables in the sensitive Slovene area with optimal cultivation and environment protection. On the basis of established biological potential of plants present technologies will be improved (improvement of current technologies of integrated production, and development of methods and technological measures of biological production – creation of new products), different planting material, growing methods, training systems (protected areas, hydroponic systems) and planting systems will be experimented on, and the most economical technologies of plant production will be defined from the point of view of environment protection and yield quality.
