Objectives:

• inheritance and heritability of extremely low content of alkenyl and indolyl glucosinolates, changed fatty acid composition, and yellow colour of winter oilseed rape seeds,
• fat and fatty acid composition inheritance in linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.),
• development of initial materials for breeding of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) with improved quality parameters: extremely low glucosinolate content, low fiber content - yellow seeded rapeseed, differentiated fatty acid composition and improved winterhardiness,
• differentiation of fatty acid composition in double low winter oilseed rape by means of recombination method and mutagenesis,
• mapping of winter oilseed rape chromosomes with the use of DNA markers and the search of their linkage with quality traits, designing of DNA markers for quality traits,
• investigations of double improved white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) genotypes and different types of poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) with high morphine and thebaine content.

Objectives:

• application of winter oilseed rape doubled haploids (DHs) obtained by the use of isolated microspore culture for different breeding programs and genetic studies:
  - production of winter oilseed rape DH lines populations for genetic mapping using molecular markers linked to quality traits of seeds,
  - production of doubled haploid populations for search of molecular markers associated with fatty acids,
  - production of DH lines with restorer gene for CMS ogura hybridization system,
  - genetic diagnostic in segregating populations of microspore derived embryos (in vitro selection) with changed proportions of fatty acids,
  - evaluation of doubled haploid lines value for special breeding program by observations of morphological characters of plants under field conditions, estimation of seed yield and biochemical analyses of seeds,
  - utilization of doubled haploids in the breeding of synthetic rapeseed cultivars,
  - the use of doubled haploid lines for statistical analysis of variability of some quantitative traits,
• increase of genetic variability of winter oilseed rape by the use of biotechnological methods:
  - production of DH lines from the embryos developed from mutated microspores,
  - introduction of foreign genes into haploid cells by the use of direct co-cultivation of microspores and androgenic embryos with Agrobacterium tumefaciens,
  - production of doubled haploids from transformed microspores and androgenic embryos.
