·       using  samples and collections from the  plant genepool (directions and results of their use in breeding, research, production, educational, ecological, social and other programs);

·       identifying plant genepool samples (principles, methods, results);

·       information provision (information systems, genebanks data bases, information exchange, programming, etc.);

·       plant genetic resources conservation (in situ, on farm and ex situ collections);

·       analitical papers on the problems of plant genetic resources and their using;
