Research Interest
My research activity focuses on three main areas: 1) The development and anatomy of plant storage organs; 2) Floral biology and fruiting; and 3) Effects of biotic and abiotic stress on plant growth. I use qualitative and quantitative approaches, focusing on the histological processes and morphogenetic markers that are relevant in the production of cultivated plants, incorporating techniques of image analysis coupled to the microscope .. Current specific topics are the cell patterns of the mesocarp and endocarp of the olive , floral quality and ovule development, and histopathology of nodular nematodes
