By combining data at multiple biological levels, scientists have demonstrated in potatoes that responses to heat, drought and flooding are intertwined, paving the way for the targeted breeding of climate-resilient potatoes.
Methods and results of monitoring and studying wildlife in their natural habitat using modern devices, such as recorders, transmitters, etc., will be presented.
Visitors will explore the hidden rhythms of communication among organisms through hands-on, interactive demonstrations, listening to the vibrational communication of insects and smelling chemical signals used by plants and insects, while discovering how these signals change over time and how human activities can disrupt such communication.
An interactive look inside diagnostic and research laboratories.
At the Department of Genetic Toxicology, Biotechnology and Systems Biology (GEN), we research processes that are important for human health and the environment. Visitors will be able to…
High-stem meadow orchards are true treasure troves of life. Visitors will be able to discover the diversity of life’s rhythms in the orchard and the surrounding forest through a variety of exploration stations at the “In the Orchard” Interpretation Centre and at information points throughout the orchard. At the exploration stations, experts and researchers will present nine different fascinating topics, inviting visitors to learn through hands-on experiments, conversations and direct observation. An engaging combination of practical activities and encounters with experts will offer visitors an opportunity to discover the hidden world of the orchard and forest and to experience nature in an interactive and inspiring way.
