Project

Knowledge-driven regulation of plant physiological processes in ornamentals to improve plant quality

The common thread throughout the project is the use of light (LED lighting) and plant hormones in floriculture. The research focuses on: (1) storage and transport;(2) adventitious rooting of cuttings and hardening of tissue culture plants; (3) branching and; (4) pigmentation of leaf/flower. Beside research the project has a valorisation part and the start-up of the Knowledge Platform Plant Physiology.
