Particularly, the conversion of coca plantations to the agroforestry system of cocoa and the genetic diversity of the local palm Mauritia flexuosa became the key topics of her studies. Afterwards, she worked in the beautiful environment of the tropical greenhouse Fata Morgana in the Botanical Garden Prague.
