Unfavorable conditions negatively affect the productivity and quality of seeds, especially during dry summers, particularly at the stages of wheat flowering and maturation. The country is forced to import high-quality wheat from other countries, as the wheat varieties cultivated domestically, both in previous years and at present, do not ensure the maintenance of quality under these conditions. These factors constitute the main causes of economic losses recorded in years with unfavorable climatic conditions. The cause of this situation lies in the irrational use of wheat varieties cultivated in the country in relation to these extreme climatic conditions. From the above, it follows that there is an urgent need to identify, within the country, varieties that can ensure productivity and grain quality at an optimal level, meeting domestic requirements. Aim of the study: Identification of productive and quality varieties under unfavorable conditions. This research was supported by Subprogram 011101: Genetic and Biotechnological Approaches to the Management of Agroecosystems under Climate Change Conditions, funded by the Ministry of Education and Research.

These nanomaterials have been used in wastewater treatment as adsorbents to remove heavy metal ions and as Fenton-like catalysts for break down contaminants. Due to their biocompatibility and low toxicity these nanoferrites find their application in medicine; their semiconducting and superparamagnetic properties are used to set up bioelectronic sensor devices for environmental monitoring. The aim of this study was to synthesize and to evaluate magnesium ferrite nanocomposites application in the treatment and functional modification of LDPE films. This research work was funded by Government of Republic of Moldova, Ministry of Education and Research, Research Subprogram 020101 ”InBioS – Innovative biotechnological solutions for agriculture, medicine and environment”.

Recent research, however, recognizes their ability to enhance wine complexity, improve aromatic profiles, and provide bioprotection by suppressing undesirable microbes. Aim of the study: This study aims to investigate the diversity and persistence of non-Saccharomyces species in several Moldovan vineyards, assessing their presence across three vintages and two vinification stages to better understand their role in terroir-driven wines. This work was funded within Institutional Project, subprogram 020405 “Optimizing food processing technologies in the context of the circular bioeconomy and climate change”, Bio-OpTehPAS, being implemented at the Technical University of Moldova; Subprogram 011101 “Genetic and biotechnological approaches to agroecosystem management under conditions of climate change”, funded by The Ministry of Education and Research of the Republic of Moldova.
