...was founded at the end of 50 s with the arrival of prof. Slavko Borojevic. Academician Prof. Borojevic was not only a scientist of general genetics, but also a very successful wheat breeder. He was the creator of a number of wheat varieties in Novi Sad wheat breeding program. The variety SAVA achieved the second best wheat yield result in the World of 10.9t/ha on 30ha in 1976, in Slovakia. Consequently, the genetic research, he established in the Chair has always been closely related to the results applicable in plant breeding. That tradition we have been cherished ever since. Academician Borojevic had been close friend or personal acquaintance of many distinguished scientists in a field of genetics and breeding - Norman Borlaug, Barbara McClintock, J. Mac Key, Earny Sears etc. With many of them he had exchanged visits, and had a vivid correspondence. Therefore, the Chair of Genetics had been up-to-date with the newest research work right from the source, establishing high standards not only in scientific work, but also in education. During the 50 years, a number of people had contributed to the Genetics history both in research and education: Prof. dr Slavko Borojevic, academician, dean of the Faculty, rector of the University, wheat breeder, Prof. dr Marija Kraljevic-Balalic, dean of the Faculty, quantitative geneticist Prof. dr Stevan Petrovic, cytogeneticist. Prof. dr Relja Savic, academician, head of the corn department of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops - Novi Sad, corn breeder. Prof. dr Ivan Mihaljev, dean of the Faculty, wheat breeder. Prof. dr Petar Dokic, sugar beet breeder. Through the Genetics had passed spending some quality years: Prof. dr Katarina Borojevic, director of the Institute of Biology, wheat breeder. Prof. dr Dragan Skoric, academician, head of sunflower department of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops - Novi Sad, sunflower breeder. Dr Srbislav Dencic, academician, head of wheat department of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops - Novi Sad, wheat breeder. Dr Todor Misic, head of wheat department of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops - Novi Sad, distinguished wheat breeder, and many others.
