Education[edit]
In 1987 she graduated with honors from the Faculty of Chemistry of the Azerbaijan State University and entered the graduate school of the Institute of Botany of the Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan, specializing in "Molecular Biology" under the auspices of the Big Scientific Council of the University. In 1994 she defended her doctoral dissertation on the topic "Genetic regulation of the formation of pigment-protein complexes of the thylakoid membrane of wheat chloroplasts", in 2004 defended her doctoral dissertation on the topic "Molecular-genetic mechanisms of the formation and accumulation of pigment-protein complexes of the photosynthetic membrane of wheat".

Scientific activity[edit]
The main scientific achievements[edit]
Molecular-genetic mechanisms of the synthesis, assembly, and formation of pigment-protein complexes - the major structural-functional components of the photosynthetic membrane of higher plants are comprehensively investigated, probable role of photosynthetic changes in plant adaptation to extreme conditions of growth is determined and molecular bases of the defense-adaptive processes of plants to abiotic (drought, salinity, radiation) and biotic (virus, phytoplasma, rust) stress factors are identified.
It was determined that the two genetic and protein-synthesizing systems of the plant cell, the nuclear and chloroplasts, are related during formation and functioning of pigment-protein complexes in vivo, and regulation of the formation of these complexes occurs, mainly, at the post-transcriptional level;
Basic principles of the pigment-protein complexes assembly were identified during the experiments under different light regimes and the structural and stabilizing role of carotenoids in these processes was revealed. For the first time proteins primary induced by light called ELIP (Early Light-Induced Proteins) were observed and their carotenoid-binding protein nature was proved;
Mechanisms of adaptation to water deficiency were determined based on the assessment of levels of free radicals, antioxidant defense systems, structural and functional condition of photosynthetic membranes, and drought-tolerance potential with molecular markers in all phases of ontogenesis of wheat plants exposed to soil drought under laboratory and field conditionsю DREB transcription factor gene was isolated from durum wheat Barakatli 95, bread wheat Azamatli 95 and diploid wheat varieties Triticum urartu, a donor of genome A, Aegilopus speltoides, a donor of genome B, and Triticum tauschii a donor of genome D, which are considered wild ancestors of cultivated wheat, and characterized. The EREBP / AP2 DNA binding domain and the NLS (nuclear localization signal) region were identified in the amino acid sequence corresponding to the nucleotide sequence of the gene;
Race composition in the causative of the stem rust disease has been molecularly characterized in wheat plants from various regions of Azerbaijan. SNP (Single nucleotide polymorphism) genotyping based on single nucleotide polymorphism has not revealed the Ug99 ras group. Genetic diversity has been observed in 54 samples of 17 multilocus genotypes. It has been found that 12 samples belong to TKTTF race group, whereas 42 samples belong to a new, unidentified race group;
For the first time in Azerbaijan, plant viruses and phytoplasmas have been identified at the molecular level, and the biochemical, physiological, and biophysical properties of plants were studied during pathogenesis. For the first time in Azerbaijan, 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani' which causes dangerous ‘Bois Noir’ disease in grapevine was detected, genotyping of detected phytoplasma isolates by multi-locus sequence analysis revealed 4 new genotypes for Stamp, 2 new genotypes for secY gene and 1 new genotypes for mleP1 gene. “Hyalestes obsoletus” and “Reptalus noahi” were identified as insect vectors of the 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani' by barcoding based on mtCOI mitochondrial marker. This is the first report of “Reptalus noahi” as insect vector spreading "Candidatus Phytoplasma solani";
During joint research of nanovirus diseases of cultivated and wild beans, conducted in several European countries, a new nanovirus-Black medic leaf roll virus (BMLRV) was identified and its complete genome was sequenced in chick-pea plants collected in Ganja. As a result of the complete sequencing of five isolates of Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV) in bean samples from Azerbaijan and Spain and four isolates of Faba bean necrotic stunt virus (FBNSV) in chickpea, green pea, lentils, and bean samples from Azerbaijan it was proved that the FBNSV nanovirus was identified in Europe for the first time; For the first time tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) was detected in a tomato plant and the virus isolate was uploaded in GenBank under registration number KY412552;
For the first time, Watermelon mosaic virus (WM) belonging to the Potivirus family was identified in the Cucumis melo L. as a result of sequential analysis of amplification products synthesized with specific primer pairs to the C-terminus of RdRp and Nib-proteins of the viral genome and the N-terminus of the capsid protein-CP (registration numbers in Genbank: MG964114-MG964228). At the same time, recombination between groups G2/G1 was found in WMV isolates.
