Plant Genomics & Bioinformatics
The Plant Genomics Programme focuses on the comprehensive characterization of plant genetic resources, aiming to understand the factors that shape genetic variation across plant genomes and drive phenotypic diversity in traits of adaptive and economic importance. The research explores the genetic architecture of plant adaptation to changing climatic conditions and investigates the genomic determinants of genetic diversity. A key objective is the integration of multi-omics data into innovative plant breeding programs to enhance crop resilience and productivity.
A major research focus over the past decade has been the multidisciplinary characterization of Armenian grape genetic resources, utilizing ampelographic, eno-carpological, genetic, and genomic approaches. Understanding the genetic diversity and relationships among grapevine varieties is essential for identifying gene pools, optimizing germplasm collections, and developing effective conservation and breeding strategies.

Bud dormancy is a critical survival strategy for perennial plants in temperate climates to endure winter, involving complex transcriptional reprogramming. While previous studies have investigated gene expression during discrete phases of the grapevine bud annual cycle, a holistic understanding requires an integrated, season-wide analysis. We conducted a meta-analysis by combining and reexamining the transcriptomic data from two seminal studies on grapevine bud development. Using Self-Organizing ...
