The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: Plant conservation biology deals with the study of the causes of such biodiversity loss and how to minimise it through conversation techniques, both in situ and ex situ. It is also concerned with boosting sustainable development through the rational use of plant and landscape resources. It focuses its research on various aspects related to the preservation and rational use of natural resources.

Scientific-technical goals: - Desarrollo de estrategias de conservacion vegetal in-situ y ex-situ
- Analisis y Control de calidad de vegetales medicinales
Research lines: - Medicinal plants.Study of medicinal plants, the structure of plant organs and the substances that provide medicinal, toxic or bromatological proprieties. This study is oriented towards the rational use of resources and its results can be directly applied to health, industry and agriculture.
- Floristics.Floristics is the part of phytogeography dedicated to making inventory of systematic entities or taxa of a territory, i.e. the flora of that territory, as well as its area of distribution, which is fundamental for the development of plant conservation strategies.
- Ex-situ conservation.Application of conservation techniques for endangered species, viability studies, germination physiology and seed and spore ageing.
- Anatomy.Recognition of plant organs and tissues that help to understand adaptation mechanisms, physiological processes, structural alterations, ontogenetic processes as well as to establish relationships between species, gender and families.
- Vegetation and in-situ conservation.Study of plant communities and their relationship with environmental factors. In situ conservation.
