The laboratory is designed to study plant development in detail under controlled environmental conditions. It can be used as a growth chamber, being equipped with LED lights that emit light in the visible band. Within the phytotron, environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, light intensity and photoperiod length can be precisely regulated, ensuring optimal plant growth. The research conducted focuses on aspects such as photosynthesis, transpiration, growth and development of forest and agricultural species. Furthermore, it is possible to examine the responses of plants to various stress factors, both abiotic and biotic, in a controlled environment.
