Importance of the research:
Cereals are among of the most important crops in mediterranean area.
Herewith, lack of water and nitrogen limits their productivity.
Genetic improvement contributes more in the production of adapted
varieties to these environmental limitations. For that reason it
is necessary to work on the genetic variability of these crops,
using molecular markers, as well as to understand the molecular
mechanisms of the adaptation of the plant to these limiting factors.
Current research projects:
Participation in european and spanish projects. European: project
TRITIMED: “Exploiting the wheat genome to optimise water
use in Mediterranean ecosystem (2004-2008)”. Directorate
General of Research, European Comission. Contract: INCO-CT-2004-509136.
Spanish Projects: “Diez mil años de interacción
clima – agricultura en el mediterráneo. Inferencias
basadas en el análisis de restos arqueológicos agrícolas”.
