Abstract

The article reviews the history of plant physiology research at the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University from 1969 to this day and analyzes the role of the first and long-time head of the Department of Plant Physiology and Agrochemistry, M. M. Okuntsov, and his pupils, O. A. Ronzhina, G. N.Chupakhina, and A. S. Grebennikov, in the development of these studies. A scientific school led by Okuntsov and focused on non-photosynthetic light-dependent processes in plants had formed by the late 1970s. Presently, physiological research at the University is carried out at the Laboratory of Natural Antioxidants headed by Chupakhina. The Laboratory focuses on the studies of antioxidant system for the purposes of elucidating molecular mechanisms of plant resistance to unfavorable environmental conditions, evaluating plant product quality, and searching for producers of biologically active substances with high antioxidant activity and material for genetic engineering of plants with beneficial traits.
