Biography
I am academic coordinator and professor
Research Interest
my research focuses mainly on cereals, especially on oats. We pay particular attention to diseases caused by fungi such as rust or oidium and environmental stresses such as drought, and the mechanisms that allow plants to defend themselves from the molecular level to the level of cultivation. I also work on barley, given its economic importance and because for several aspects it is considered a model, as in the case of the study of oidium.
