Spain
Biography
He is working as a professor in department of plant breeding and biotechnology in this University
Research Interest
Research activities are aimed to search and characterize the genetic variability available in melon and wild relatives to improve resistance to diseases, viruses and pests in melon varieties/hybrids. This research involves the genetic study of these characters, their resistance mechanisms and the development and characterization of genetic populations to be used in melon breeding through traditional and molecular technologies.
