In silico analysis and biotechnology methods in crop studies (results of the additional professional education program, Vladivostok, 2024)

As part of the Development Program for the National Center for Plant Genetic Resources, founded on VIR’s base by Decree No. 44 of the President of the Russian Federation of February 8, 2022, an additional professional education (APE) program was implemented in 2024 for competitively selected participants from the Far Eastern and Siberian Federal Districts. The program is important in the context of the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation, and the Strategy for Developing the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation and Ensuring National Security until 2035. In the framework of the APE program “Methodological approaches to ex situ conservation and study of plant genetic resources” (Vladivostok, September 16–23, 2024; organizer: N.I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources), special attention was paid to the theoretical aspects and practical skills in plant genetic resources management using modern methods of biotechnology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics. The program’s events were housed by the Far East Experiment Station of VIR. Fifteen students, representing organizations from Siberia and the Far East, participated in the program.
