Research Training in projects of "Plant Biochemistry & Biotechnology Lab" (PBBL) Group
Contact
Brief description
The group focuses on understanding and exploiting biological systems to mitigate production losses caused by diseases and abiotic stresses. PBBL members bring solid research experience and a strong commitment to translating fundamental knowledge into practical outcomes.
PBBL offers a dynamic and research-driven environment that equips undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as early-career researchers, with modern skills and international perspectives, supporting their professional development in Greece and abroad.
Objectives & main tasks
• Metabolic engineering for the production of high-value secondary metabolites, through rational redesign and construction of metabolic pathways using genetic engineering approaches.
• Biosynthesis and gene regulation of selected secondary metabolites in plants and microorganisms.
• Genetic mapping and phylogenetic analysis using both classical methodologies and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies.
• Genomics and bioinformatics, including the collection, classification, storage, and analysis of biological and biochemical data from plants and microorganisms.
• Biotechnological strategies for the development of bio-based fertilisers and plant protection products derived from renewable biological resources, such as plants. Bio-based fertilising products can include microorganisms, recycled nutrients and bio-based compounds that improve soil fertility and nutrient availability. Bio-based plant protection products can include microorganisms and natural substances (such as plant extracts, and other bio-based substances) that help manage plant health. Bio-based fertilisers can lower import dependence and the carbon footprint while turning agricultural residues and local organic waste into economic value.
• Focus on holistic approach strategies employing Artificial Intelligence Management and Entrepreneurial applications in Ensuring Optimal Quality of Olive Oil – From a living lab orchard to final premium quality product.
