Zeleniny rodu Allium jako potenciální zdroj minerálních látek určených k lidské spotřebě: obsah selenu
Annotation in Czech
Studovat zastoupení minerálních látek v zeleninách r. Allium, zaměřit se na geny související s akumulací selenu ve vybraných druzích(zjm. česnek, cibule, pór), charakterizovat je na úrovni sekvence DNA, popsat vliv minerální výživy na jejich expresi na úrovni mRNA a vyhodnotit nejvhodnější genotypy jako zdroje biologicky aktivního selenu pro konzumenty i zpracování.

Project results evaluation
The project aimed at enchriching Allium sp by selenium from the soil and to bind it into organic compounds. Variability of allinase gene family and cystein synthase was characterized. Method for monitoring their transcription introduced. It was found that during development transcription is stable. ILP markers were derived. The results were summarized in publications and utility model.
