The influence of abiotic stress on the morphology and chemical composition of plants

Research in the indicated topics concerns the impact of abiotic stress factors (e.g. temperature, light, excess or deficit of water, wind, environmental chemical pollution) on the functioning of plant organisms.

Our research, mainly on the model plant Platycerium bifurcatum, concerns the influence of selected abiotic stress factors on the morphology and physiology of tropical epiphytic ferns.
