Abstract

Major trends and principal achievements of genetic and genetic-breeding investigations within the system of NAS of Ukraine institutions from its foundation (November, 1918) up to banning of genetic researches and teaching of genetics in the USSR (August, 1948) were presented. Scientific and scientifically-organizational activities of leading geneticists and breeders of Ukraine and their contribution to the world science advancements were analyzed.
Keywords: history of science, history of genetics in the USSR, genetics and breeding in Ukraine, history of NAS of Ukraine
