Organization profile

Plants are indispensable for life on the planet as primary producers of oxygen, but they are also the main source of food for human beings, fiber and wood for clothing, paper bags, or containers, housing and furniture, and a source of renewable energy. They are also excellent metabolite biofactories with nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, or agricultural properties. In addition, at the level of ecosystem services, plants are the main actors in atmospheric carbon fixation, water retention, temperature regulation, and also participating in soil conservation, and the biodiversity associated with them. The seedbed was created with the aim of offering students of biology, bioengineering, microbiology, pharmaceutical chemistry, or nutrition/dietetics a space for research and interdisciplinary training to approach the plant model with both a basic and applied approach. In this way, it aims to offer interesting experiences ...
