Main Activity
Plant Sciences Core Facility is an open CEITEC laboratory providing access to the cutting-edge infrastructure for plant and algae cultivation, as well as for environmental simulation and phenotyping analyses. The core facility operates 15 walk-in growth chambers (phytotrons) and 10 greenhouses to provide defined growth conditions for controlled plant cultivation. In addition, the laboratory can provide in-depth statistical analysis (Machine Learning, Regression analysis, ANOVA, Mixed models, Bayesian analysis) of any kind of plant datasets (phenotypic data, chemical kinetics, fluorescence and chlorophyll data, agricultural data and others) as well as image processing and analysis.
Unique Features
The Core Facility provides academic community with access to advanced environmental simulation technologies. Our facility provides all services necessary for conducting many types of controlled environment experiments, starting from the simplest ones up to the most complex. We are able to control the following parameters: temperature, humidity, light intensity and light quality, day and night length.
In some chambers various light wavelengths are possible to combine: UV-A (365, 385 nm), violet (400 nm), blue (450 nm), green (525 nm), orange (590 nm), red (665 nm) and far-red (730 nm).
Simulation of the following environmental stress conditions is possible to provide: cold stress (≥ +4°C), heat stress (≤ +40°C), drought, alpine light conditions, high light.
We also have chambers where various gas conditions (e.g. ethylene or CO2) can be adjusted.
