by

During 24. November to 5. December 2017, Marián Brestič and Marek Kovár from Department of Plant Physiology of SUA in Nitra took a part in working trip to the China. At the Shandong Agricultural University in Taian (Shandong province), they met with partners with whom prof. Brestic has long been working together to solve common research topics in the field of agrobiology and stress physiology of crops. This scientific cooperation has been developed since 2002 through bilateral projects of the Slovak-Chinese cooperation. During a visit to the newly-built center of university, the State Key Laboratory of Plant Biology at Shandong Agricultural University, had the opportunity to look at the work of researchers and students at the crop photosynthesis, plant stress physiology and molecular biology of plants the research groups of prof. Xinghong Yang and prof. Huiyuang Gao. Furthermore, M. Brestic and M. Kovar viewed the Experimental Agrobiological Center of the University as well as the University library in the host institution.

In their next program, they visited Jiangsu Agricultural Science Academy (JAAS) in Nanjing, Jiangsu province. They participated in the conference "Modern Agricultural Science and Technology Conference", where were presented studies leads to the further development of agriculture in the Jiangsu province and potential scientific cooperation. They also met with JAAS (Dr. Xiaolan He), with which the Department of Plant Physiology has been long scientific cooperation. Prof. M. Brestic at the seminar on the Salt-Soil Agricultural Center in the Institute of Agricultural Resources and the Environment in JAAS delivered a lecture summarizing past and current cooperation as well as perspectives and themes of further cooperation in the coming period.
