Before intelligent algorithms can be developed for the autonomous greenhouse, we need to look at the underlying crop physiology. We will make a list of the most important plant traits for autonomous greenhouses and will evaluate how these traits are affected by changes in the greenhouse climate. In the crop physiology theme we will investigate the plasticity of the crop: how can the plant morphology and production be controlled with greenhouse climate (for example light and temperature), what are the time scales in which plant processes are affected by changes in the climate and how can this information be further incorporated into crop models?
