New research frontiers in crop adaptation to climate change


From Cristiano Riciputi's article on  FreskPlaza.it  friday July 24,2026

Shaping the future of agriculture through the right light: C-LED, Organizzazione Orlandelli, and the University of Verona join forces for tomorrow's farming.

How can crops adapt to climate change and environmental stresses?

The answer lies in advanced scientific research. At the Department of Biotechnology of the University of Verona, researchers and professors work daily to study plant genetics, responses to abiotic stress, and the efficiency of biostimulants on key species such as tomatoes, rocket, maize, and grapevine.

To support work of such high precision, light accuracy is essential.

A synergy of expertise

In collaboration with our partner Organizzazione Orlandelli, we upgraded the lighting system of the university's greenhouse with tailored C-LED technology solutions:

  • Custom design (C-LED): On-site surveys and custom lighting engineering designed to deliver the ideal spectrum and intensity across all four greenhouse areas.
  • Integration and logistics (Organizzazione Orlandelli): Commercial management and seamless integration of LED lamps with structural equipment and professional systems.

Stable lighting for 3D phenotyping

In the research greenhouses led by Dr. Elisa Fasani and Prof. Anita Zamboni, C-LED lighting provides more than just essential photoperiod support—it ensures the light stability required to power their high-tech phenotyping platform. This cutting-edge scanner creates 3D point clouds of plants to measure growth phases and genetic responses with extreme accuracy.

"Seeing this technological system fully operational and performing at its best today is immensely rewarding for us."

From advanced scientific laboratories to intensive greenhouse cultivation, engineering custom solutions for the horticulture industry remains our core mission.
