On the staff of the Institute there are 245 people, including
115 research workers, 6 of whom are Doctors of Sciences and 59 Candidates of sciences. The
Institute comprises 7 scientific laboratories and a botanical garden with its branch in
the village of Toybohoy in the Suntar district of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).
The Institute was established in 1952. It grew out of subdivisions of the Yakut
Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences whose main scientific interest was biology. The
first Director of the Institute in 1952-1954 was a prominent specialist in the field of
plant physiology, Professor V.P.Dadykin. His place then took a famous geneticist, Doctor
