Main scientific achievements As a result of scientific expeditions a new barley specie (Hordeum aegiceras (Nees ex Royle) was revealed for Caucasus flora. Areals were adjusted, the threat of extinction was confirmed, scientific recommendations were prepared for the protection of a number of rare and endangered species;

Photosynthesis properties that enable high and qualitative yield depending on varietal characteristics and mineral nutrition in soybean was determined;

The structure of the system with high photosynthetic capacity was determined by studying photosynthesis properties in intensive and extensive genotypes;

According to the difference in photosynthetic traits among genotypes the existence of interaction among them and the role of different organs in overall photosynthetic capacity were determined,

In favorable conditions according to the proportional increase of indices of photosynthetic traits in intensive varieties the possibility of association of them in one genotype was clarified;

Intensive cultivation technology enabling to obtain high yields in soybean in irrigated conditions was developed;

Morphological and physiological parameters in soybean, peanut, pea and lentil varieties which were high productive, well adapted to natural climatic conditions of the republic and had high indices for complex valuable traits were determined and optimal models were created.

He is a coauthor of 6 realized plant varieties.

Donor-acceptor peculiarities of varieties with different seed production were determined.

Genetic source of plant material differed for high resistance, high seed productivity and quality and other agronomic traits of agricultural interest was selected and their use in breeding as a promising forms was recommended.

Model schemes enabling coordination and direction of scientific activities in Azerbaijan on PGR, as well as providing optimal solutions for their protection and sustainable use were created;

New taxonomy of PGR was prepared;

New methodologies were recommended on protection strategies of rare and endangered species;

Scientific basis for functional diagnostics of viability potential and genetic prognosis of durability in genebank accessions was developed;

Universal experimental models for conservation of genebank accessions were created and quantitative criteria have been developed.
