Facilities

The PlantLab is equipped with instruments and technologies for plant functional genomic studies, including a Gene Expression Lab (GenEx) equipped with several qPCR instruments, an Imaging Lab with confocal microscopy and radiolabel/luciferase/GFP imaging systems, 100 square meters of walk-in growth chambers, 5 Percival Growth Cabinets, and large greenhouses (shared with the University of Pisa).

The PlanLab established the NANOPlant laboratory as collaboration with NEST - Scuola Normale Superiore. The NEST facilities include state-of art confocal end electon microscopy.
