Solutions for modern agriculture and plant biotechnology.

The Cell and Tissue Cultivation Laboratory executes research projects that immediately, medium or long term lead to an efficient increase in the availability of propagation material for agriculture. In close relation with the mentioned projects, he carries out basic studies of the behavior of plants during the in vitro and ex vitro culture.
