Provorov Nikolai Alexandrovich

  • Provorov Nikolai Alexandrovich

    Chief Researcher, Doctor of Biological Sciences

    Information

    Nikolai Alexandrovich Provorov was born in 1958 in Leningrad. In 1981, he graduated with honors from Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) State University, Department of Genetics and Breeding, Faculty of Biology and Soil, specialty “Genetics of microorganisms”. In the same year, he joined the All-Union (now All-Russian) Research Institute of Agricultural Microbiology, where he completed postgraduate studies and in 1986 defended his thesis for the degree of Candidate of Biological Sciences in the specialty “microbiology”. In 2009 He defended his dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Biological Sciences in the specialty “genetics”. Since 1981, he has worked at VNIISHM as an engineer, junior and senior researcher, deputy. Director of Scientific Work (2010-2017), Director (2017-2023), currently works as a chief scientific officer.

    Areas of scientific interests: evolution of symbiosis, population genetics, mathematical modeling of evolutionary processes, genetic design of symbiotic systems. N.A. Provorov showed for the first time that wild forms of legumes surpass intensive varieties in their interaction activity with nitrogen-fixing microorganisms and can be used to create effective symbiotic systems. As a result of this work, approaches and programs of symbiotic engineering have been proposed, and a number of genes that can be used in these programs have been identified. Under the leadership of N.A. Provorov, mathematical and experimental models of the co-evolution of plants and bacteria to increase the activity of symbiotic nitrogen fixation were created. The principles of symbiogenetics, a new biological discipline studying the formation of supraspecific inheritance systems, are formulated (in collaboration with I.A. Tikhonovich). The reconstruction of the early stages of eukaryotic cell symbiogenesis was carried out using nitrogen-fixing plant symbionts. It is shown that they are associated with the formation of biological altruism relationships, as well as with the implementation of a pangenesis strategy determined by the inheritance of microsymbionts by plants as acquired genetic determinants.

    The total number of scientific publications is over 400, including 13 monographs (2 in English) and more than 200 articles in journals indexed in Web of Science and Scopus. He is the head of 4 PhD dissertations and scientific advisor to 1 doctoral dissertation, as well as co-author of 2 patents and 3 copyright certificates. Laureate of the N.I. Vavilov Prize of the Government of St. Petersburg (2011) and the prize of the Government of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology (2022).
