A new laboratory complex dedicated to biotechnology and artificial intelligence has opened in Russia's Oryol Region. Its primary mission is to support the technological independence of the country's agricultural industry. The facility has been established at the breeding and seed production center operated by Shchelkovo Agrokhim.

Researchers will use the complex to accelerate the development of new seed varieties. Specialized climate chambers allow scientists to precisely control light exposure, humidity, and other environmental conditions, significantly speeding up the breeding process. The chambers are part of a broader set of advanced research equipment available at the facility.

"There are only a handful of laboratories like this in Russia, and one of them is now here in the Oryol Region. This will allow us to accelerate the development of new breeding materials and improve existing crop varieties and hybrids," said Salis Karakotov, CEO of Shchelkovo Agrokhim.
