At the Department of Experimental Plant Biology, we are dedicated to both teaching and research of physiological processes — from the cellular level to entire plant populations. Our research teams, organized into specialized laboratories, seek answers to how plants respond to stress, manage water, energy, and nutrients, and adapt to changing environmental conditions.
