The year 2023 was an eventful one in the history of the Siberian Federal Scientific Centre of Agro-BioTechnologies of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The geography of the Center's scientific activities has significantly expanded, now including subdivisions in Buryatia, Tyva and the Irkutsk region. This made it possible to carry out breeding work on the development of new varieties of agricultural plants and animal breeds on the territories with different climatic and natural conditions. The new realities required organizational renewal of all the SFSCA RAS activities, as well as the use of the best experience of the Siberian Branch of VASKhNIL (All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences named after V.I. Lenin), the successor of which we are.
Researchers of the Siberian Federal Scientific Centre of Agro-BioTechnologies of the Russian Academy of Sciences actively developed cooperation with the scientists of other countries, first of all - Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Armenia, and participated in the work of international conferences. The result of our work was joint long term scientific projects.
Throughout the year, we felt the interest in our work of the Ministry of Science and Education of the Russian Federation and the Russian Academy of Sciences. Thanks to active support we managed to solve organizational, scientific and personnel issues.
The SFSCA RAS conducted research on 26 topics in 2023
In total, 86 types of completed scientific products were created in the Center using materials from previous years, including: patterns - 4, experimental data - 4, variety - 6, method - 1, model elements - 1, methods - 1, breeding lines - 1, breed -1, genetic material - 1, techniques - 34, methodologies - 3, systems -2, recipes of biotic additives - 7, experimental sample -2, inbreed type - 1, technology - 1, new knowledge - 17.
Based on the results of the research, 386 scientific articles and 66 in press were published, including:
in the leading Russian and international journals – 149 and 29 in print, in the RSCI core journals – 125 and 33 in print, in the journals indexed on the RSCI platform – 104 and 27 in print, in the publications indexed in the Web of Science database – 40 and 2 in print, in Scopus – 47 and 22 in print..
Published: 2 monographs, 2 chapters of monographs, 4 methodological manuals and recommendations.
47 patents and 4 certificates were obtained, 21 applications for patents and certificates were filed.
The number of mastered developments in 2023 in agricultural production through the conclusion of economic and license agreements is 74.
1 round table and 10 scientific-practical conferences, including 8 international ones and 5 seminars were conducted; 693 consultations on agricultural production were held, 91 scientific workers of the SFSCA RAS improved their qualification, 4 scientific-analytical reports were made.
SFSCA RAS participates in 9 RSF grants, in 2023 RSF supported 4 grants:
1. Study of genetic structure and identification of genes determining the process of pheonotypic manifestation of economically useful traits in different breeds of sheep in conditions of Siberian and Far Eastern region.
project creator: Galina Moiseevna Goncharenko
2. Search for the agents of biological plant protection from the representatives of hemipterofauna (Heteroptera) of Western Siberia
project creator: Elena Igorevna Shatalova
3. Species composition and toxigenic properties of clostridia in cattle in the West Siberian region and development of a test system for their rapid identification
project creator: Alexey Vasilyevich Nefedchenko
4. Genetic variability and diversity of bovine pestiviruses, main risks of introduction of new genetic variants into the territory of the Russian Federation
project creator: Alexander Gavrilovich Glotov
The new year of 2024 sets even more ambitious tasks to ensure food security of the country, import substitution, to bring Russian agricultural science to a new level of development, to achieve technological leadership in the field of agro-biotechnology. All the efforts of the scientific team of the SFSCA RAS will be aimed at solving these problems. We are confident that thanks to the support of the Government of the Russian Federation and the Russian Academy of Sciences the coming year will bring more opportunities and prospects for development.
