The international scientific conference "Biodiversity of Mountain Ecosystems in the Context of Global Climate Change" was held in Khorog, Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region. Kurbonali Partoev, head of the Genetics and Breeding Laboratory at the Institute of Plant Botany, Physiology, and Genetics of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, told NIAT Khovar.
More than 100 scientists, including biologists, geneticists, physiologists, plant breeders, and ecologists from various research institutes in the Republic of Tajikistan, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Uzbekistan, and others, participated in the conference.
The scientific conference program included sections devoted to the flora and fauna of mountain ecosystems, the physiological and biochemical foundations of increasing plant productivity and resistance to climate change, selection, introduction, and adaptation of genetic resources, as well as biotechnological approaches to increasing crop yields.
More than 40 scientists presented scientific reports that covered issues of rational use of ecological and genetic resources of mountain ranges, their improvement and use to ensure food security, and discussed scientific and practical methods and ways to preserve biodiversity in the future.
