What the facility does
Dendrochronology, plant physiology.
Areas of expertise
We perform all of the necessary analyses for understanding plant physiology.
Research services
- Plant physiological analyses (photosynthesis, hydraulic conductivity, leaf surface, sugar, chlorophyll content, etc.),
- Dendrochronological analyses (cross-dating, Velmex table for ring widths),
- In vitro culture
Sectors of application
- Agriculture, animal science and food
- Energy (renewable and fossil)
- Forestry and forest-based industries
