Abstract
In December 2023, the leading mycologist-phytopathologist of the Russian Federation, head of the laboratory of plant immunity to diseases of the All-Russian Research Institute of Plant Protection (VIZR), Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Olga Silvestrovna Afanasenko celebrates her anniversary. The main direction of O.S. Afanasenko’s work is a comprehensive study of the mechanisms of variability in populations of phytopathogenic fungi, race-forming processes and interorganismal genetics in the pathosystems “cereal crops - hemibiotrophic pathogens”. In cooperation with colleagues from VIR, as well as from specialized institutions of the Russian Federation and foreign countries, research is being carried out to identify genes for resistance of grain crops to the most harmful pathogens.
Supporting agencies: the work was performed within the framework of the state task according to the theme plan of VIR, Project No. FGEM-2022-0009 “Structuring and disclosing the potential of hereditary variation in the global collection of cereal and groat crops at VIR for the development of an optimized genebank and its sustainable utilization in plant breeding and crop production”.
