The main type of work going on in the PCL is:

  • in vitro plant growth
  • different types molecular anc cell biology techniques
  • physiological work.

    More details about Lab rooms & Available equipment are found in the link on the right side. Especially worth mentioning is:

  • ABI DNA sequencing machine for fragment analysis
  • full equipment for and competence on high throughput RNA in situ hybridisation,
  • particle gun equipment
  • six 2 L bioreactors.

    Persons working in the laboratory come mainly from the Department of plant- and environmental science (IPM) at UMB, but there are also persons from The Norwegian Forest and Landscape Institute and Bioforsk
