Assessment of global trends and competitiveness of domestic scientific and technological capacity in the field of the plants cultivation

The patent and market analysis one of the most intensive and rapidly developing technology areas – 
developing new ways of breeding, hybridization and changes in genetic characteristics of cultivated plants was 
made for the assessment of the potential of the Russian agroindustry. Special attention is paid to new technological 
the areas identified by experts among the most promising for the development of domestic agricultural production: 
the development of new methods of obtaining high-performance plant varieties; the development of fundamentally 
new approaches in biotechnology to accelerate breeding of agricultural plants based on genomic technologies and 
DNA labeling (marker assisted selection).
