After an intensive planning phase, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf is constructing the new PEAC (Plant Environmental Adaption Center) research building. The research building extends over four floors and, in addition to numerous laboratory and office spaces, offers, for the first time on campus, the necessary technical infrastructure for the simultaneous cultivation of test plants under various, precisely controllable environmental conditions. Highly technical climate chambers and greenhouse compartments will be used for this purpose. Construction will take place parallel to ongoing university operations and is scheduled for completion by June 2024. PEAC will investigate the genetic traits that enable plants to adapt to very diverse and often adverse environmental conditions. The focus is on mechanisms that allow plants to withstand conditions such as heat, drought, flooding, or pathogen infestation – all of which are expected to be consequences of climate change in the near future. The building has a usable area of almost 1,900 square meters and houses laboratories, 17 highly specialized plant cultivation chambers (phytotrons), and a research greenhouse with eight compartments. A special feature of PEAC is the extremely high level of technology required to simulate many different scenarios year-round in the phytotrons and greenhouses. For example, they can recreate future environmental conditions in Germany, but also in southern France or Norway ( Text: HHU Düsseldorf ). The groundbreaking ceremony for the new PEAC research building took place on April 6, 2022. The funding application was coordinated by Rüdiger Simon (CEPLAS).
