Presentation of the laboratory

The Cell & Plant Physiology Laboratory (LPCV) studies dynamics of the plant cell. This research, conducted at both the molecular and cellular level, is placed in the context of the whole plant during its development and subjected to changing conditions of the environment. They aimed at a better understanding of cellular mechanisms, e.g. metabolic pathways or processes of cell division and morphogenesis.
