Eugene M. Lisitsyn, DSc
Eugene M. Lisitsyn, DSc of Biological Sciences, is an Assistant Professor
at the N.V. Rudnitsky North-East Agricultural Research Institute, Russian
Academy of Sciences in Kirov, Russia, and a professor of ecology and
zoology at Vyatka State Agricultural Academy, also in Kirov, Russia. He
is a member of the N.I. Vavilov Society of Geneticists and Breeders. Dr.
Lisitsyn is the author of over 230 publications in scientific journals and
conference proceedings, as well as the cobreeder of oats variety Krechet.
His research interests concern the basic problems of plant adaptation to
environmental stressors such as soil acidity, aluminum and heavy metals,
and other ecological problems. He has published chapters in several
