Koppert Cress

Koppert Cress specializes in cresses; seedlings of unique plants, which each have their own specific effect on the senses. Flavour, fragrance, feel or presentation, there is a cress for all. And the assortment is widening. Every year at least one new item is added to the collection of Micro-vegetables. A collection, which is presented as ‘Architecture Aromatique’

Crevetec

Controlled REcycling of Valuable Elements in Technology for Ecological production of Crustaceans.

Crevetec wants to provide a total solution for ecological (and economic) production of shrimp.
This means shrimp will be produced with maximum efficiency of feed and minimum impact on the environment.

Hogeschool Zeeland
SPRING
centrum voor duurzaamheid en water

Spring bestaat sinds mei 2003 als het centrum voor duurzaamheid en water en is verbonden aan Hogeschool Zeeland. Spring richt zich op innovatie van onderwijs en het uitvoeren van onderzoek op het gebied van duurzaamheid en water. De onderwerpen van onderzoek zijn water, energie en managementvraagstukken (duurzaam ondernemen). Spring beoogt de kennis en ervaring binnen Hogeschool Zeeland te bundelen, uit te bouwen en in te zetten zowel voor organisaties als bedrijven in de regio en daarbuiten. Zo wil Spring fungeren als kennispoort tussen de hogeschool en de regio. Daarnaast zijn communicatie en informatieverschaffing belangrijke taken

ADAPTATION MECHANISMS UNDER ABIOTIC STRESS CONDITIONS
The ability of plants to adapt to environmental stress conditions is genetically determined, and includes biochemical, molecular biological and physiological components. In our research programs, the crucial factors of plant stress response are studied from the stage of signal perception and transduction to the appearance of accumulative and protective mechanisms of adaptive character.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECOLOGICAL PHYSIOLOGY
The knowledge of physiological specificities of plant species in a natural habitat and the mechanisms of physiological processes under stress, adaptation and acclimatisation is essential for environmental sciences. Our task is to determine those physiological, biochemical or biophysical mechanisms, which result in adaptation to environmental factors or lead to a decrease in biomass production of the individual or the population.
