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 study the evolution of disease ''Resistance'' genes and other loci that condition plant immune activation in the model species ''Arabidopsis thaliana''.

Polyamines are small amines which accumulate in response to abiotic and biotic stress. | Polyamines, mainly putrescine, spermidine, spermine and thermospermine are small amines which accumulate in response to abiotic and biotic stress in many plant species. In collaboration with Prof. Tiburcio at UB, we investigate the implications of polyamines in plant stress protection from a genetics and molecular perspective.
