Dragan Perović, PhD from the Julius Kühn-Institut, held today in the Rectorate building, a scientific forum entitled "Comparative Genetics and Genomics as a Basis for Breeding Cereals to Biotic and Abiotic Stress" organized by the University of Montenegro and the Board for Agriculture and Forestry CANU.

In his presentation, professor Perović referred to a closer explanation of the terms comparative genetics and genomics, explained what sequential technology brings today, how to isolate genes using pangen, and spoke about closer identification of genes for resistance and evolution of pathogens over time.

“One genome of wheat, barley, and even man has from 35,000 to 50,000 active genes. An individual cannot track the total amount of genes with his own eye, but there is a tool that helps us to follow in parallel what is happening in different species", he explained, adding that this area of ​​study is called genomics.

When it comes to the development of new sequencing technologies and their application in genome research, he said that long-term reading of these technologies leads to better genome connectivity, and that advances in crop genome sequencing techniques have opened a new space for affirmation of new areas of genetics, such as genomics.

He explained to the present professors and students that the field of agriculture today faces numerous challenges, and the support lies in the application of the latest scientific knowledge and achievements, especially in the field of genetic research and molecular biology in the breeding practice of many crops.
