Plant-Environment Interactions
Our lab studies the genetic and molecular bases for the adaptation of plants to their local environments. We mainly focus on the adaptation to stress (abiotic and biotic) exploring the natural variation present in wild populations.
Current projects
Evolution of NB-LRR genes in nature, disease resistance and incompatibility
We're currently studying the evolution of NB-LRR immune-receptor genes and other interacting loci that condition defense against evolving pathogens and how this derives in immune-related hybrid incompatibility. We address these questions using molecular biology, population genetics and biochemical approaches in wild Arabidopsis and pathogen populations. This research is complemented by the study of the modulation of NB-LRR signaling by temperature.
Natural variation of stress-induced metabolites
We study the genetic bases for the naturally occurring variation of some stress metabolites involved in resistance traits to abiotic and biotic stresses in collaboration with different laboratories.
Our research is supported by:
- The Ramón y Cajal Programe (Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, Spain)
- Marie Curie Career Integration Grant (DISEASENVIRON) 2012-2016
