Biotechnology Center

The purpose of the Biotechnology Center as a scientific-research institution is to investigating modern, innovative technologies in the world as a fundamental research, as well as to modify these technologies according to the geographical-climatic conditions of Georgia. In particular, receiving and distributing elite seeds and planting materials of various agricultural crops, monitoring-conservation, cultivation and sustainable use of Georgia’s biodiversity, testing of bio-preparations for reducing microbial diseases on agricultural crops, development and introduction of new technology for storage grapes and fruit crops. The purpose of the Biotechnology Center is to obtain clean products, for example, virus-free potato tube plants are ecologically clean plants, and they can be supplied to farmers who are interested in producing biologically clean products, which will promote the development of organic farms in Georgia. The rational use of phytogenetic resources (Medicinal, Aromatic, Melliferous, Dye, Spicy and Poisonous Plants) and innovative technologies in the context of global climate change is urgent, resulting in an ecologically clean product. At the same time natural resources will be preserved, safe, clean, healthy products will be produced. This issue is a priority for Georgia with a small, unique ecosystem and biodiversity. Practical implementation of the results of the new technology of storage of fresh fruits and grapes, will allow farmers to store these agricultural products for a long time with minimal losses and realization in the winter, both locally and internationally, Which will not only significantly improve their socio-economic situation, but also have a significant positive impact on the economic situation of the country. The implementation of this work includes several goals, in particular:

1. “Conservation-reproduction of potato in vitro collection”

2. “Tuberization of potato in vitro plants, transfer of received micro tubers in the open filed for production elite seeds and establish in vitro walnuts culture”

3. „Comparative study of the action of bio preparations and fungicides against fungal diseases of the root system of soil and vegetable crops for safe conditions for plants and soil.

4. Monitoring-Conservation and Cultivation – Sustainable Use of Innovative Technologies of Biodiversity of Medicinal, Aromatic, Melliferous, Dye, Spicy and Poisonous Plants in Georgia”

5. Development of a new technology for the storage of introduced varieties of stone fruit, berries, table grapes, biochemical research.
