| Research: |
Biological control of plant diseases.
Plant microbe interactions. Composts to suppress Plant diseases.
Organic waste recycling by composting. Plant tissue culture. |
Research interests:
Study of disease caused by diverse formae specialis of Fusarium
oxysporum, and occasionally on plant tissue culture (plant/pathogen
interactions, ecophysiological and physiological studies). At present
we are attempting to improve our understanding of how the chemical
and physical environment of composts (from organic wastes) selects
specific microorganisms, the microbial activities that take place,
and how theses communities influence plant disease control. Our
research is also focused on associations of plants and biological
control agents. We are working towards a fundamental understanding
of plant responses to microbe associations so that the practical
utilisation of microbes for biological control of plant diseases
may become possible. Dr. Trillas and Dr. Casanova are involved,
together with Dr. M. Avilés and C. Borrero from the University
of Sevilla, in the development of the spin-off Biocontrol Technologies,
S.L. S.L. Parc Científic de Barcelona.
