| Our lab studies the genetic and molecular bases for the adaptation of plants to their local environments. We mainly focus on the evolutionary adaptation of plant populations to abiotic and biotic stresses, which are major threats for plant survival. Derived from our basic research, we investigate ways for improving stress protection.<br>

| '''Disease resistance in plants ''' <br>
| |
| <font face="calibri" style="color:#000000" font size="4"> <br>
| |
| We're currently studying the evolution of ''NB-LRR'' immune-receptor genes and other interacting loci that condition defense against evolving pathogens and how this derives in immune-related hybrid incompatibility, an important obstacle in plant breeding. We address these questions using molecular biology, population genetics and biochemical approaches. This research is complemented by the study of the modulation of ''NB-LRR'' signaling by temperature which is important under the current climate change predictions. Research is supported by EU-Marie Curie CIG (EU) and the Programme of Scientific and Technical Excellence (Spain). <br><br>

| '''Natural variation of stress-induced metabolites''' <br>
| |
| <font face="calibri" style="color:#000000" font size="4"><br>
| |
| In collaboration with the lab of Prof. Tiburcio at the same department and different laboratories worlwide, we study the genetic bases for the naturally occurring variation of stress protective metabolites involved in resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Through molecular approaches, we improve the resistance of plants to different stresses. <br>
