The Laboratory has a long time research experience related to the climate changes and inter and intra-field variability monitoring as well as to the ecophysiological mechanisms of plants adaptation to abiotic stress conditions. In particular, research conducted refers to the evaluation of plant’s responses under adverse environmental conditions such as drought, elevated UV-B radiation etc. at physiological, biochemical and anatomical level aiming to the optimization of plant production. The laboratory is well equipped with the appropriate infrastructure fulfilling the needs of research projects relevant to plant-environment interactions.
