· The physiological and molecular basis of the photosynthetic response of plants under abiotic stress conditions (air pollution, warming, spectral composition and light intensity, photoperiod) and biotic stress conditions (fungal infections) and multistress – the research is conducted on the model of epiphytic ferns (genus Platycerium), the collection of which has been at the Institute for many years, as well as on selected species of crop plants. In greenhouse and phytotron experiments, spectral methods based on chlorophyll fluorescence, measurement of pigment content and gas exchange, analysis of enzyme activity and stress proteins are used.

· Physiological and molecular aspects of modifications in the organization and functioning of the main components of the photosynthetic apparatus accompanying the induction of osmotic stress-dependent CAM photosynthesis and its withdrawal in the model semihalophyte realizing facultative CAM photosynthesis Mesembryanthemum crystallinum sp.
