What are we interested in?
We're interested in genetics of natural variation, population genetics and molecular biology. We want to know how climate change is shaping plant's resistance and tolerance traits under a combined multidisciplinary approach. Our lab undertakes a research approach that looks for the genetic and molecular basis of naturally occurring quantitative variation in biotic and abiotic stress responses, and how these interact with the environment (genotype-by-environment interactions). This multidisciplinary approach will allow a better understanding of the natural evolution of stress pathways in plants and efficient know-how transfer to practical applications.
For a more detailed view of our research plans, please have a look at our Research and Publications sections.

Línies de recerca
El nostre és un laboratori interessat en l'estudi de les bases genètiques de l'estrés abiòtic i biòtic en plantes, emprant organismes model i espècies d'interés agronòmic, investiguem la variabilitat genètica natural existent en poblacions silvestres. La nostra és una recerca transversal que incorpora genètica de la variabilitat natural, genètica de poblacions, biologia molecular i bioquímica.
Els detalls de la nostra recerca i projectes en curs es poden consultar en l'apartat "Research" i "Publications".
Líneas de investigación
Nuestro laboratorio tiene como principal línea de investigación el estudio de las bases genéticas del estrés abiótico y biótico. Para ello estudiamos la variabilidad genética natural existente en poblaciones naturales de especies modelo y de interés agronómico. Nuestra investigación es transversal e incluye genética de la variabilidad natural, genética de poblaciones, biología molecular y bioquímica.
Los detalles de nuestra investigación y proyectos en curso se pueden consultar en las secciones "Research" y "Publications".
