Elena A Salina

Summary

Elena Salina is Head of laboratory of Plant Molecular Genetics and Cytogenetics at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics (IC&G) in Novosibirsk, Russia. She worked at the Institute since August 1981 after graduation from Moscow University.

Her main scientific interest was connected with reorganization wheat genome during remote hybridization, amphiploidization and evolution. The last years one of the research directions of her lab was focused on identification genes and alien translocations responsible for wheat agricultural traits such as resistance to disease, heading time, spike morphology et al.. This information is then used for improving methods and strategies for harnessing allelic diversity of wheat relatives and hybrids and using its in wheat breeding.

Elena Salina was a team leader in IWGSC since 2007 and responsible for physical mapping and sequencing of 5BS chromosome.
