In the in vitro culture laboratory, research activities pertaining to the culturing and maintenance of plant cells, tissues and organs on artificial substrates are carried out for purposes of germplasm maintenance and the study and selection of plant material for tolerance to major abiotic stresses with special regard to the presence of xenobiotics, including for phytoremediation purposes.
Relevant instrumentation
- Horizontal laminar flow hood with UV germicidal lamp
- Amcota vertical incubator for storage of plant material (Petri dishes, magenta box) in the absence of light
- Two-shelf growth chamber with adjustable lighting and temperature for growing plant material on sterilized substrates
- Stereoscope
- Fluorescence light microscope
