PLANT PRODUCTS are of fundamental importance to mankind as food, animal feed, building material, fibres and medicine. How do we use this enormous resource? Plant biology is a central area of biology, covering many aspects of plant life and crop production. Plant diseases affect both yield and quality of products. Knowledge of plant functions and their interaction with the surroundings is necessary for sustainable plant production and hence sustainable development.

The programme is run in collaboration with Uppsala University and Stockholm University.
