| '''''Dear visitor, Benvolgut visitant, Estimado visitante, Sehr geehrte besucher,'''''<br>
| |
| <br> Welcome to the webpage of the '''Laboratory of Plant-Environment Interactions (R. Alcazar)''' at the Deparment of Biology, Health & Environment of the University of Barcelona. <br><br>
| |
| We investigate the '''adaptation of plants to local environments'''. We focus on the evolutionary adaptation of plant populations to '''abiotic and biotic stresses''', which are major challenges for plant survival under the current climate change predictions. Derived from our research, we investigate ways for improving stress protection.<br>

| '''1. Disease resistance in plants''' <br>
| |
| <font face="helvetica" style="color:#000000" font size="3">
| |
| We study the evolution of disease ''Resistance'' genes and other loci that condition plant immune activation in the model species ''Arabidopsis thaliana''. We make use of natural populations of plants and pathogens to address molecular and evolutionary aspects of pathogen recognition in the wild. At the direct interface between plants and the environment, we study how temperature modulates some NB-LRR triggered plant immune responses.<br>

| '''2. Natural variation of abiotic stress tolerance and adaptation'''<br>
| |
| <font face="helvetica" style="color:#000000" font size="3">
| |
| Polyamines are small amines which accumulate in response to abiotic and biotic stress. We investigate the implications of polyamines in plant stress protection through the analysis of their mechanisms of action. <br>
