The collaboration began on 14 January 2025, when members of the Pluskal Lab integrated DBGI’s sample collection and traceability procedures into their existing work with the garden.
The partnership connects the garden’s living collections and plant records with research on plant specialised metabolites, mass spectrometry and computational metabolomics at IOCB Prague. Samples collected through the collaboration remain linked to their botanical records and resulting chemical data, supporting reproducible workflows for DBGI research in Czechia.
