The group comprises about 12 staff members, 20 PhD candidates, 5 postdocs, and a number of guest researchers; each year about 35 students conduct their thesis study (a 6-month research) at our group. This is the only academic group in the Netherlands which focusses on horticulture and holds a strong position in horticultural research and education. The focus of the group is on greenhouse horticulture, vertical farming and the post-harvest quality. Responses of physiological processes to the environment are studied aiming to predict and control the phenotype of the plant and plant products. Growth and development of plants as well as product quality are studied as emergent properties of underlying physiological and genetic processes. Three major research themes are discerned: Photosynthesis, morphogenesis and product physiology. Within these themes, research fields such as phenotyping, LED light regulation of plant processes and functional-structural plant modelling are gaining increasing prominence. Leo has 30 years of experience in experimental and simulation research on plant growth and functioning. His main expertise is on physiology, growth and product formation of plants and plant organs. In particular fluxes of assimilates, water and nutrients in the plant, sink\/source interactions and partitioning among plant organs in response to environmental growth conditions are subject of study. His research contributes to sustainable horticultural production while improving crop production and quality; this includes saving of energy, efficient use of (LED)light, efficient use of water and nutrients.He has (co-) authored more than 90 scientific articles with an H-index of 29 (according to Web of Science) and over 250 articles for growers. He is chief editor of the section Crop and product physiology of Frontiers in Plant Science<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Info:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wageningenur.nl\/en\/Persons\/Leo-Marcelis.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.wageningenur.nl\/en\/Persons\/Leo-Marcelis.htm <\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/web.cut.ac.cy\/hydro2020\/slide7\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-110 \" src=\"http:\/\/web.cut.ac.cy\/hydro2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2020\/12\/Slide7-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"173\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"http:\/\/web.cut.ac.cy\/hydro2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2020\/12\/Slide7-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/web.cut.ac.cy\/hydro2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2020\/12\/Slide7-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 173px) 100vw, 173px\" \/><\/a>Ha\u00efssam Jijakli\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Professor and Responsible of Integrated and Urban Plant Pathology Laboratory (Li\u00e8ge University), Ha\u00efssam Jijakli is managing a team of 25 persons, leading 15 research\u2019s.

Her present professional activities include teaching on vegetable, medicinal and aromatic plant crops and production chains at BSc, MSc and PhD level at the University of Turin and at other universities. Dr. Nicola has been supervisor of domestic and foreign PhD students and Postdoctoral fellows, visiting from several countries, external examiner of MSc and PhD students, and professors for several universities. Her present research focuses on the effect of pre-harvest environmental factors on quality and safety of fresh and fresh-cut produce, especially leafy vegetables and culinary herbs grown with advanced soilless systems, on fresh-cut produce chain and aromatic plant production and post-harvest processes. Bioactive compound synthesis in plants due to fertilization management and abiotic stresses on quality at harvest and post-harvest quality decay and shelf-life is a current field of studies. Dr. Nicola has worked since 1988 in Horticultural Science and Development on seedling and transplant biology and physiology, soil and soilless culture, protected cultivations, pre- and post-harvest handling and processing, post-harvest physiology and technology, quality and safety, and supply chain management.
