What is GreenTE?
GreenTE is a multidisciplinary research project funded through the Gravitation program of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW). In the research program Green Tissue Engineering (GreenTE) we will study how plant cells – with an internal pressure exceeding that in a champagne bottle – perceive mechanical forces, and how such forces control growth, development, and immunity. Armed with this knowledge, we will develop new strategies for improving propagation, seed longevity and immunity in crops.
