The IBERS CEA group was established in October 2019 and builds on our diverse skills in this field. We work closely with academic and industrial partners and focus on the following areas: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022       \u2018Pop up\u2019, low and integrated carbon growth systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022       Breeding crops for the indoor environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022       Manipulating plant growth and development using light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022       Elevated CO2<\/sub> research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022       Controlling the quality of crops indoors via \u2018stress tools\u2019; manipulating leaf\/fruit chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022       Assessing plant chemical and nutritional quality<\/p>\n\n\n\n
