EPS Theme 3: Metabolism and Adaptation

Plants rely on metabolism to carry out essential processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and the production of specialized compounds, while continuously adjusting these processes to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Understanding plant metabolism and adaptation helps scientists improve crop resilience and develop sustainable agricultural solutions for challenges such as climate change and limited resources. Join the EPS Theme 3 day to learn more about the ongoing research projects with the EPS community.
