Research Interest
Our research line seeks to identify the genetic basis of the traits of interest and to develop molecular markers useful for selection in breeding programs of various cultivated species. At present, our efforts are focused on cereals (wheat and tritórdeo), legumes (beans) and olive, for which we work in close collaboration with other research groups. Among the characters in study, the increase in the content of carotenoid pigments in wheat grain and tritórdeo; agronomic characteristics in olive, including oil content and yield components; and resistance to diseases in legumes. The achievement of our objectives involves the use and management of plant genetic resources and the application of techniques of genetic mapping, comparative mapping,
