AltSU implements projects to develop completely new technologies for creating innovative products
The projects of the employees of the flagship university of Altai Krai received grant support from the Office of Altai Krai for Food, Processing, Pharmaceutical Industry and Biotechnology for the development of new technologies for creating innovative products and services in the fields of food processing and production, pharmaceutical production and biotechnology.
The project "Biotechnological foundations for the production of planting material for decorative species of Altai flora and hard-to-propagate varieties for nurseries and urban gardening" will be implemented on the basis of the Altai Center for Applied Biotechnology at Altai State University (ACAB) in cooperation with the industrial partner of the project Altai Fito Product LLC. The relevance of the project, led by Olga Mironenko, Director of the Altai Center for Applied Biotechnology of Altai State University, is due to the fact that, according to expert estimates, 13 million seedlings are imported into the country per year, while the planting material is not always of high quality, it is not adapted to the natural and climatic conditions of our countries and does not always go through quarantine. A significant increase is required in the production of seedlings with improved biological and planting qualities by nurseries. Significant developments in the field of microclonal reproduction of plants, the study of decorative species of flora at Altai State University will increase the economic efficiency of the production of planting material, as well as improve the aesthetic, ecological and functional characteristics of green spaces through the use of indigenous resistant species.
The project "Evaluation of the effectiveness of probiotics and metabiotics on agricultural crops (wheat, oats, barley, rapeseed, soybeans)" under the leadership of Vladimir Tatarintsev, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, will allow assessing the effect of the drugs patented at Altai State University on the quantitative and qualitative indicators of spring crops. The project is aimed at solving the problems facing the economy of Altai Krai associated with an increase in the number of export agricultural products by 2024 and their quality - organic agriculture. For the first time, within the framework of the project, the activity and influence of innovative preparations with the declared bacterial strains in laboratory and field conditions on agricultural crops will be studied and a comparative assessment of new biological preparations with existing chemical analogues will be carried out.
In a joint project with Altai State Agricultural University on the topic "Development of technology for the production and use of preparations obtained from the products of processing plant raw materials, as regulators of the growth of agricultural crops", Head of the Department of Organic Chemistry of the Institute of Chemistry and Chemical-Pharmaceutical Technologies, Doctor of Chemistry , Professor Natalya Bazarnova and Associate Professor of the Department Vadim Markin will carry out the development of an experimental batch of a biological product for field trials. Also, a recommendation will be prepared for the design of a technological line for the production of a developed biological product based on waste products from crop production.
