Introduction  

Phytochemistry research group has been integrated into structure of Centre of Region Haná for Biotechnological and Agricultural Research at the begining of 2013. The laboratories are equipped with mainly chromatographs with various detectors for qualitative and quantitative analysis of wide array of organic molecules. The scope of the research is broad, covering primary and secondary metabolites of the plants and plant product quality. In addition, there are also phytohormones cytokinines and strigolactones studied. The reaearch involves the method development for their chemical analyses, chemical synthesis and trasnsformations, occurrence, as well cross-talk with other phytohormones.
