Biography
Participation in the Official University Masters of the University of Córdoba "Plant, cellular and genetic biotechnology" and "Production, Protection and Genetic Plant Improvement
Research Interest
Chromosomal manipulation in cereals to facilitate introgression in crops (mainly wheat) of genes of agronomic interest from related wild species. Use of biotechnological tools in the study of plant meiosis to promote interspecific recombination in cereals. Use of chromosomal pairing mutants to transfer resistance to Septoria tritici in whea
