The project proposed by the Department of Environmental Biology consists of an integrated “intelligent” Phytotron (Integrated Smart Phytotrone) which aims to carry out interdisciplinary experiments on the reactions of plants to different types of stress: pollution, pathogens, drought inter alia.

The transition from a dormant to a germinating seed represents a crucial developmental switch in the life cycle of a plant. Subsequent transition from a germinating seed to an autotrophic organism also requires a robust and multi-layered control. Seed germination and seedling growth are multistep processes, involving both internal and external signals, which lead to a fine-tuning control network.
