Biography
Our group is interested in identifying and studying the mechanisms of plant tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and low temperatures. We carry out basic studies using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and plants of economic interest such as tomato or strawberry. Genetic analysis and biochemical studies have allowed us to identify essential genes in these processes. Our goal is, by identifying these key genes, increase tolerance of strawberry and tomato to these abiotic stresses
