The Aeropolis Plant Biotechnology Laboratory at the Faculty of Technology and Life Sciences is a modern research centre dedicated to advancing:
• Biotechnological innovations
• Horticultural and agricultural practices
• Environmental sustainability
Facilities and Structure
The laboratory complex includes:
• Air-conditioned laboratory rooms equipped with advanced research apparatus
• A greenhouse-propagator
• A vegetation hall, located both along the building’s walls and on the rooftop
Research is conducted across three specialized units:
• In Vitro Plant Culture Laboratory
• Molecular Marker Laboratory
• Chromatography Laboratory
Research Focus
The laboratory’s research addresses critical challenges in agriculture and environmental science, including:
• Development of plants for pharmaceuticals and food substitutes
• Purification of municipal and industrial wastewater
• Reclamation and prevention of degraded land
• Production of greenhouse-resistant plants and microorganisms
Key Innovations and Outputs
• Protocols (implementation instructions) for micropropagation of fruit, ornamental, and energy plants
• Guidelines for quality assessment and certification of in vitro-derived nursery material
• Fruit plant varieties adapted to organic and integrated cultivation, tolerant to greenhouse effect
