| We study the genetic and molecular bases for the '''adaptation of plants to their local environments'''. We mainly focus on the evolutionary adaptation of plant populations to '''abiotic and biotic stresses''', which are major threats for plant survival. Derived from our basic research, we investigate ways for improving stress protection.<br>

| |
| Plant resistance to pathogens is an important field of research with direct applications. We study the '''molecular bases and evolution of ''Resistance'' genes''' and other loci that condition '''plant immunity'''. We explore the mechanisms that have naturally evolved in plant populations to resist against biotic threats. This research is complemented by the study of the modulation of some immune responses by '''temperature''' which is important under the current climate change predictions. <br><br>

| '''2. Natural variation of abiotic stress tolerance and adaptation'''
| |
| <font face="helvetica" style="color:#000000" font size="3">
| |
| | |
| | |
| We investigate the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying the naturally occurring '''tolerance to abiotic stresses in plant populations'''. We're currently studying the genetic bases for the naturally occurring variation of '''stress protective metabolites''' that condition resistance in plants.
