ФГБУН Центральный Сибирский Ботанический Сад СО РАН

Central Siberian Botanical Garden of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CSBG SB RAS), founded in 1946, is the largest botanical research institution in the Asian part of Russia. Located in Novosibirsk, it serves as a premier scientific center dedicated to the comprehensive study of plant biodiversity, ecology, and the sustainable use of natural resources. With an expansive territory encompassing a unique protected forest area, the institution integrates fundamental academic research with practical applications in agriculture, forestry, and environmental conservation, maintaining a reputation for excellence in plant physiology and genetics.

The institute’s expertise covers a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines, ranging from taxonomy and phytocenology to the advanced development of crop varieties. A key focus of the center is the introduction and acclimatization of plants, ensuring that high-yield and resilient agricultural cultures—including vegetable, fruit, and medicinal species—are adapted to the challenging Siberian climate. Through decades of rigorous selection and biotechnological research, the organization has become a vital contributor to regional food security and the preservation of rare botanical specimens, consistently bridging the gap between theoretical laboratory science and practical agro-industrial implementation.
