RESEARCH INTERESTS

  • Effect of light on morphology, physiology, biochemistry and primary/secondary metabolism of vegetable crops and other species.
  • Production of vegetable crops and seedlings under controlled conditions (greenhouse and growth chamber) using new technologies aiming at sustainable production.
  • Effect of abiotic stresses on the physiology, phytochemistry and production.
  • Transplantation and determination of plant growth, biomass distribution (underground and aboveground), and the physiological state of the plants.
  • Evaluation of the quality of vegetables from the seedling stage to the final product.
  • Adaptation of plant species to climate change in terms of physiology, growth and development.

PROFILE

Dr. Filippos Bantis holds the position of Assistant Professor of Vegetable Crops’ Science at the Department of Agriculture, University of Patras. He holds a PhD degree from the Department of Agriculture, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in the field of Vegetable Crops’ production.

He also holds a PhD degree from the Institute for Ecology, Evolution and Biodiversity, Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in Plant Physiology. As a Principal Investigator he has undertaken 2 research projects funded by individual companies, and has also participated in 3 European and 9 national research projects, as well as 3 joint action projects (COST actions).

He has teaching experience at BSc and MSc level in the Higher Educational Institutions of Greece in subjects related to Vegetable Crops and Greenhouse Production. In addition, he has participated in a large number of scientific publications in international journals and conferences, and also as a Guest Editor of international journals.

His main research contributions to date in the field of vegetable crops are (a) the deeper understanding of the effect of light on seedlings and vegetable products at morphological, physiological, and phytochemical levels, (b) the determination of parameters for the identification of grafted watermelon seedlings’ quality, and (c) participation in the development of an index for determining the postharvest life of leafy vegetables by measuring electrical conductivity.
