Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR) St. Petersburg, Russia Verzhuk Vladimir Grigorevich is a Senior Researcher at the N.I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR) in St. Petersburg, Russia. He holds a Candidate of Biological Sciences degree and has been a pivotal figure in the field of plant cryopreservation since completing his postgraduate studies at VIR in 1976. Profile: Orcid Academic and Professional Background: Verzhuk Vladimir Grigorevich, a Candidate of Biological Sciences, is a Senior Researcher at the Laboratory of Long-term Storage of Plant Genetic Resources of VIR. He graduated from the Crimean Agricultural Institute in 1971 and completed his postgraduate studies at VIR in 1976, focusing on photosynthesis and productivity. Since 2000, he has led the cryopreservation group, specializing in low-temperature storage of vegetative shoots, buds, and pollen of fruit crops. Areas of Research: Verzhuk’s research focuses on developing and improving cryopreservation methods for the genetic resources of vegetatively propagated crops at VIR. Sustainable Crop Production Research Focus: Verzhuk’s research emphasizes sustainable crop production through the development of cryopreservation methods for genetic resources. His work ensures the long-term viability and diversity of crop species, contributing to the sustainability of agricultural systems by preserving genetic material that can adapt to changing environmental conditions and stressors.
