Laboratory of Physiology and Molecular Genetics of Plants (LPGMP)

Faculty of Sciences | Brussels School of Bioengineering (Environment - Bioindustry - Agriculture)

(Code: ULB607)

Person in charge of the unit : VERBRUGGEN Nathalie.

Our objective is to identify and to characterize the molecular basis of plant responses to abiotic stresses. A better understanding of those mechanisms
will allow to enhance plant tolerance to stress. In particular, we focus our research on tolerance and hyperaccumulation of heavy metals, as well as on
mineral deficiency.
