Laboratory of Genetically Modified Plants

Laboratory of Genetically Modified Plants

Basic research is focused on plant physiology and anatomy, ecophysiology, biochemistry and the biophysics of photosynthesis. The objectives of the applied research are the study of the thermal stress physiology of plants and photosynthetic microorganisms, the development of thermotolerant strains for biotechnological applications and the research of the cuticle sheet as a transport barrier for agrochemicals.

Characteristics

Offer of services

1 / cultivation of genetically modified micro-organisms in suspension in a content of individual batches of 10 L and plants in hydroponic culture to 14 m2 of areas cultivated under controlled conditions (spectral composition of light, temperature, atmospheric composition).

2 / gravimetric quantification and determination of the biomass yield of photosynthetic activity of genetically modified plants by measuring the gas exchange (O2, CO2)

3 / permeability testing of the surface of the leaves of plants (cuticle) for water (wetting effects) and agrochemicals

Future (with an emphasis on applied research)

Our competence in plant physiology research and technical support for the use of genetically modified organisms creates a complete platform for cooperation with the commercial sector in the field of plant biotechnology.
