We study the evolution of''Resistance'' genes and other loci that condition plant immune activation to fight against pathogen infection.  At the direct interface between plants and the environment, we study how temperature modulates plant immune responses.<br>
We study the evolution of disease ''Resistance'' genes and other loci that condition plant immune activation in the model species ''Arabidopsis thaliana''. We make use of natural populations of plants and pathogens to address molecular and evolutionary aspects of pathogen recognition in the wild.  At the direct interface between plants and the environment, we study how temperature modulates some NB-LRR triggered plant immune responses.<br>

We investigate the implications of polyamines, plant growth regulators, in plant stress protection. <br>
Polyamines are small amines which accumulate in response to abiotic and biotic stress. We investigate the implications of polyamines in plant stress protection through the analysis of their mechanisms of action. <br>
