Research Areas
Research Areas
Plant Molecular Physiology
Research activities on physiological and molecular mechanisms of higher plants, from the responses to endogenous stimuli, such as hormones and sugars to adaptation to stress
Plant Genetics and Genomics
Scientists use forward genetics approaches and genomic prediction to advance our understanding of the determinants of plant performance, developing pre-breeding tools useful to support the sustainable intensification of agriculture
Agroecology
Research in agroecology is carried on different topics including the study of functional biodiversity in agroecosystems, plant populations and communities dynamics, insects and microorganisms and their interactions
Climate change
A connection between plant traits and climate and weather
