pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) collected from Western Romania
and the genetic variability assessment of local populations of
chilli pepper using molecular markers.
The research project involves the use of modern methods of
quantifying the biosynthetic products of secondary metabolism
in a germplasm of chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum L.).
The evaluation of capsaicin and carotenoid compounds
biosynthesised in in vitro tissue and cell cultures involves the
development of callus from different explants on different types
of hormonal balance in the culture medium and quantification of
secondary metabolites in vegetal extracts obtained using
biochemical, spectrophotometric and chromatographic
techniques.
The biosynthesis capacity assessment in callus cultures will be
compared with the biosynthesis quantification in chilli pepper
fruits reached at technological and physiological maturity.
The aim is the selection of local populations with superior
characteristics in terms of biosynthesis capacity, populations
used in the pepper breeding programs and food, pharmaceutical,
medical and industrial purposes.

Alfalfa – the most important forage crop rich in protein, can be
improved by modifying leaf architecture (number of leaflets), to
increase the amount of protein. Leaf morphology is controlled by
certain genes whose expression level can detemin alterations
initial model.
It is demonstrated the expression level correlation with the
Description occurrence of KNOX genes in alfalfa grown multileaflet trait.
The postdoctoral project main goal is to identify the time
positioning and networking of hormone levels concentration and
modification in the level of expression of six KNOX genes in
alfalfa. These findings allow deciphering the molecular
mechanisms leading to the appearance and multileaflet trait to
identify methods by which it can be stabilized in descents, for the
protein naturally increasing.
